<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The atmospheric chemistry group at Bayreuth University explores exchange processes between the atmosphere and the Earth’s ecosystems. At this interface we want to understand relevant
emission mechanisms as well as atmospheric photooxidation that leads to the formation of ozone and aerosol, hence impacts air quality and climate. Living in the Anthropocene, we study the potential of the increasing influence of human activity to alter natural
exchange processes between atmosphere and the Earth surface.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Especially in forested areas a large production of secondary organic aerosol has been observed which is believed to be formed by the oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds
(BVOC). We aim to explore this mechanism coupling traditional with novel methods. Observations in forest air as well as controlled studies in reaction chambers will aid to elucidate important details within the oxidation chemistry of BVOC.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
