To understand monoterpene emission from a deciduous coniferous forest floor, we measured monoterpene emission rate of the forest floor and monoterpene content in needle litter in a Larix kaempferi forest, Japan in spring, rainy season, summer, and late autumn. Six soil chambers were set up on the L....
