Volatile Organic Compound Emissions From <i>Solidago altissima</i> Under Experimental Warming and Drought.

ABSTRACT: Plant volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions are important mediators for plant interactions with biotic and abiotic factors in the environment. Changes in VOC emissions can be caused by factors associated with climate change, such as warming and drought. However, we currently lack an understanding of how warming and drought affect plants' emissions in their natural environment, let alone how these climate factors may interact to synergistically affect emissions. To fill these knowledge gaps, we measured VOC emissions from tall goldenrod (Solidago altissima) in an early successional plant community under four climate treatments: ambient control, warmed, drought, and warmed + drought. Treatments were applied in situ using open-top chambers for warming and rainout shelters for droug
