Enclosure technique was set up for collection of BVOCs for the first time in Taiwan.
Sabinene was the main component of BVOCs emitted from Cryptomeria japonica in the field.
Basal emission rate (at 30 °C) of sabinene was measured to be 1.29 μg h−1 g−1.
Emission potential of monoterpenes from C. japonica stand was 1.13 mg m−2 h−1 in July.
