Biogenic volatile emissions from the soil.
Plant Cell Environ. 37, 1866-1891 (2014)
Volatile compounds are usually associated with an appearance/presence in the atmosphere. Recent advances, however, indicated that the soil is a huge reservoir and source of biogenic volatile organic compounds (bVOCs), which are formed from decomposing litter and dead organic material or are synthesized by underground living organism or organs and tissues of plants. This review summarizes the scarce available data on the exchange of VOCs between soil and atmosphere and the features of the soil and particle structure allowing diffusion of volatiles in the soil, which is the prerequisite for biological VOCs-based interactions. In fact, soil may function either as a sink or as a source of bVOCs. Soil VOC emissions to the atmosphere are often 1-2(0-3) orders of magnitude lower than those from above ground vegetation. Microorganisms and the plant root system are the major sources for biogenic VOCs. The current methodology to detect below ground volatiles is described as well as the metabolic capabilities resulting in the wealth of microbial and root VOC emissions. Furthermore, VOC profiles are discussed as non-destructive fingerprints for the detection of organisms. In the last chapter belowground volatile-based bi- and multitrophic interactions between microorganisms, plants and invertebrates in the soil are discussed.
