Unveiling the Impact of Biological Particles on Climate Calculations

Scientists at CERN have discovered that trees release a type of chemical called sesquiterpenes, which are more effective than expected in seeding clouds. This finding suggests that trees play a significant role in cloud formation and could help refine estimates of the atmosphere before industrialization. The research highlights the need to better understand the composition of a "pristine" atmosphere and may require adjustments to climate models.

The Tree-Cloud Connection: Unraveling the Mysteries of Cloud Formation

Researchers at the CLOUD project at CERN have discovered that sesquiterpenes, gaseous hydrocarbons released by plants, play a significant role in cloud formation. This finding could help reduce uncertainties in climate models and improve predictions. Sesquiterpenes, although occurring less frequently than other substances, were found to form ten times more particles than isoprenes and monoterpenes. The study suggests that sesquiterpenes should be included as a separate factor in future climate models to enhance accuracy.
