log(O3 uptake) 0.45 1 0.49 0.32 0.36

For isoprene emission and ozone uptake Pearson correlations of the log-transformed values were calculated since these variables were highly non-normal. This log transformation reversed the sign of the correlations for O3 uptake. log(isoprene emission) = logarithm of isoprene emission (nmol m−2 s−1). log(O3 uptake) = logarithm of O3 uptake (nmol m−2 s−1). O3 uptake = total ozone uptake (nmol m−2 s−1). [O3] = ozone concentration (ppb). Rg = short-wave incoming radiation (W m−2). Airt = air temperature (°C).
