Monoterpene hydrocarbons emitted from conifers act attractants
or deterrents to many insect species in forest ecosystem. They are
also very reactive volatile compounds playing important role in
the formation of ozone in lower troposphere.
The following articles will give more information on the role
monoterpenes in the formation of air pollutants:
