Accurately modeled Biogenic Volatile Organic Compound (BVOC)
emissions are an essential input to atmospheric chemistry
simulations of ozone and particle formation. BVOC emission models
originate from leaf and branch level measurements with scaling to
regional or larger spatial levels based on vegetation landcover
data derived Basal Emission Factors (BEFs), but they generally
lack validation by regional scale measurements. We directly
assess isoprene emission-factor databases for BVOC emission
models by deriving BEFs from direct airborne fluxes aggregated at
2 km resolution and averaged spatially over ecoregions covering
~10,000 km of California. Ecoregion averaged BEFs from the
landcover used by the Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols
from Nature (MEGAN) v. 2.1 BVOC emission model agreed within 10%
(r²=0.82) with measured BEFs, with few discrepancies (either
overestimation or underestimation). For more go to the
