Short summary
We developed a portable system to collect biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted by trees, which can affect air quality and climate. Our system minimizes interference from contact with tree branches and enables sample collections from several trees in a single day. Field testing with Japanese cedar showed the system's robust performance, capturing BVOC variability and diurnal patterns, highlighting its value for advancing our understanding of BVOC dynamics in diverse ecosystems.
