Article Synopsis
- Biogenic secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) are created when plant volatiles oxidize in the atmosphere, affecting ecological interactions.
- Scots pine seedlings attacked by large pine weevils release herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) that activate defense mechanisms in nearby plants.
- These defense responses remain effective even after HIPVs are converted to SOAs, indicating that the composition and amount of SOAs can influence their biological roles in ecosystems.
