Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are low-boiling-point compounds commonly synthesized by secondary metabolic pathways in plants. As key precursors of ozone (O3) and secondary organic aerosols (SOA), BVOCs play a critical role in ecosystem-atmosphere interactions. However, their emission from both marine and terrestrial ecosystems, as well as their association with climate and the environment, remain poorly characterized. In light of recent advances in BVOC research, including the establishment of emission inventories, identification of driving factors, and evaluation of ecological and environmental impacts, this study reviews the latest advancements in the field. The findings underscore that the carbon losses via BVOC emission should not be overlooked when estimating the terrestrial carbon balance. Additionally, more work needs to be conducted to quantify the emission factors of specific tree species and to establish links between BVOC emission and climate or environment change. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of vegetation ecology and its environmental functions.
