科学家发现,植物中的异丙烯形成大气颗粒,影响云的形成和气候模型。 Scientists find isoprene from plants forms atmospheric particles, impacting cloud formation and climate models.
研究人员发现,植物排放的气体异丙烯可以在特定条件下在高层大气中形成气溶胶颗粒。 Researchers have discovered that isoprene, a gas emitted by plants, can form aerosol particles in the upper atmosphere under specific conditions. 以前被认为是微粒形成能力最低的异丙烯现在可被视为大气颗粒的一个重要来源,特别是当与低水平硫酸或碘氧化酸结合时。 Previously thought to have minimal particle-forming ability, isoprene can now be seen as a significant source of atmospheric particles, especially when combined with low levels of sulfuric acid or iodine oxoacids. 这一发现可增进我们对云层形成的理解,并有可能改进气候模型。 This finding could enhance our understanding of cloud formation and potentially improve climate models.
