Abstract
, 5367-5377. In addition, our study indicates that the dihydroperoxide products are significantly enhanced over previous estimates. Dihydroperoxides are chemical and photochemical sources of OH, and the implications of enhanced hydroperoxide formation on the agreement between models and observations in tropical forests are examined.
