Abstract

We present the results from laser granulometry of a nanosized fraction of aerosol substance and from UV spectrometry of water washouts from different-age needles in four plant species. It is estimated how the hydrothermal conditions influence the time variations in morphometric indices of needles and contamination of their surfaces by phenolic compounds in the composition of secondary organic aerosols. We discuss how secondary organic aerosols are generated on the surfaces of different-age needles during efflorescence of phenolic compounds and their subsequent entry into the forest canopy during turbulent separation of the boundary layer from the leaf surface.
