(a) Schinus molle saplings subjected to a heatwave generated by a grassland prescribed fire. The saplings were planted together with thermocouple rods at a distance of 2, 3 and 4 m from the edge the experimental plots. (b) Isoprenoid emissions from S. molle leaves before the fire event (BF), and isoprenoids emitted at the distance of 2, 3 and 4 m from the experimental plots 4, 24 and 48 h after the fire event, shown as a percentage of the BF emissions (Centritto et al. unpublished results).
