BIOGENIC EMISSIONS OF NITRIC OXIDE AND NITROUS OXIDE FROM ARID AND SEMI-ARID LAND

  • Chapter
Dryland Ecohydrology

Abstract

Carbonaceous trace gases in the atmosphere, like carbon monoxide, methane, volatile organic compounds, are oxidized by hydroxyl and other radicals through various catalytic cycles (Crutzen, 1987). Nitrogen oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are the key catalysts in these cycles and their ambient concentrations determine whether ozone is generated or destroyed in the troposphere (Chameides et al., 1992). A mixing ratio of NOx (= NO+NO2) of only ≈30 pptv establishes a critical threshold between ozone destruction (<30 pptv) and generation (>30 pptv). Ozone is usually generated in polluted, industrialized regions, where ambient levels of nitrogen oxides are high, and it is destroyed in remote parts of the globe. The present evolution of sources of nitrogen oxides in non-industrialized regions triggers a potential increase of global tropospheric ozone concentrations and thus attracts scientific attention.
