My birth year paper has 3 authors. This first is Manuel Lerdau, who is a professor and researcher at the University of Virginia. https://evsc.as.virginia.edu/people/profile/mlerdau
His research focuses on plant resource and distribution as well as biotic and abiotic interactions such as herbivory and atmospheric chemistry and air pollution. His research currently centers around genomics and stress tolerance and trace gas exchange between plants and the atmosphere. Some of his other publications include: A unified mechanism of action for volatile isoprenoids in plant abiotic stress and Catabolism of volatile organic compounds influences plant survival.
Another author of the paper is Alex Guenther, he has a PhD in engineering and is a professor at the University of California Irvine. He is an international leader in atmospheric and terrestrial ecosystem research who has published more than 280 peer-reviewed journal articles such as The contribution of reactive carbon emissions from vegetation to the carbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems.
The last author that contributed to my birth year article is Russ Monson, at the University of Colorado Boulder, he is interested in various aspect topics such as plant physiological ecology; and forest-atmosphere exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapor, ozone and energy. He has publications such as Diurnal centroid of ecosystem energy and carbon fluxes at FLUXNET sites and is honoured in papers such as Russ Monson and the evolution of C-4 photosynthesis.
