| Abstract: | "Oceans cover over 71% of the Earth's surface and play crucial roles in regulating the global climate. In the marine boundary layer, the levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been shown to have positive relations with the marine algal biomass, indicating that the marine biological activities can be an important biogenic VOCs (BVOCs) source. The emitted BVOCs will enhance the formation of secondary organic aerosols, and perturb the radiative forcing, which ultimately affects the climate. To date, knowledge on the emission processes (i.e., synthesis processes and emission rates) of BVOCs from marine phytoplankton is still lacking compared to the more well-known BVOCs released from terrestrial plants. In this review, we focus on the BVOCs emissions from the marine phytoplankton. Based on the available literature from field and laboratory studies, we listed the types of BVOCs being emitted by different marine phytoplankton species, summarized the diversity of BVOCs related to phytoplankton taxonomy and physiology and abiotic factors affecting their emissions in various marine environments, and discussed the biosynthesis and ecological function of important marine VOCs such as DMS, terpenoids and VHCs from phytoplankton. Finally, we highlighted the existing gaps in the current knowledge and the needs of future study for better understanding the physiological and ecological roles of BVOCs emission from marine phytoplankton" |
