Tropical #forests play an important role in global #climate regulation.

However, the high concentrations of new #particles above these areas have puzzled atmospheric scientists.

New research has identified that #isoprene, an organic compound emitted by vegetation, significantly contributes to the formation of new particles in the upper troposphere.

These findings enhance our understanding of atmospheric processes and potentially aid in climate modelling.
