Flux of the biogenic volatiles isoprene and dimethyl sulfide from an oligotrophic lake

Abstract Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) affect atmospheric chemistry, climate and regional air quality in terrestrial and marine atmospheres. Although isoprene is a major BVOC produced in vascular plants, and marine phototrophs release dimethyl sulfide (DMS), lakes have been widely igno...
