Abstract
Atmospheric chemists have historically treated leaves as inert surfaces that merely emit volatile hydrocarbons. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that leaves are ubiquitous substrates for multiphase reactions-implying the presence of chemicals on their surfaces. This Review provides an overview of the chemistry and reactivity of the leaf surface's "chemical landscape", the dynamic ensemble of compounds covering plant leaves. We classified chemicals as endogenous (originating from the plant and its biome) or exogenous (delivered from the environment), highlighting the biological, geographical, and meteorological factors driving their contributions. Based on available data, we predicted ≫2 μg cm-2 of organics on a typical leaf, leading to a global estimate of ≫3 Tg for multiphase reactions. Our work also highlighted three major knowledge gaps: (i) the overlooked role of ambient water in enabling the leaching of endogenous substances and mediating aqueous chemistry; (ii) the importance of phyllosphere biofilms in shaping leaf surface chemistry and reactivity; (iii) the paucity of studies on the multiphase reactivity of atmospheric oxidants with leaf-adsorbed chemicals. Although biased toward available data, we hope this Review will spark a renewed interest in the leaf surface's chemical landscape and encourage multidisciplinary collaborations to move the field forward.

Interactive effects of changes in UV radiation and climate on terrestrial ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles, and feedbacks to the climate system. Photochem Photobiol Sci 2023; 22:1049-1091. [PMID: 36723799 PMCID: PMC9889965 DOI: 10.1007/s43630-023-00376-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Terrestrial organisms and ecosystems are being exposed to new and rapidly changing combinations of solar UV radiation and other environmental factors because of ongoing changes in stratospheric ozone and climate. In this Quadrennial Assessment, we examine the interactive effects of changes in stratospheric ozone, UV radiation and climate on terrestrial ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles in the context of the Montreal Protocol. We specifically assess effects on terrestrial organisms, agriculture and food supply, biodiversity, ecosystem services and feedbacks to the climate system. Emphasis is placed on the role of extreme climate events in altering the exposure to UV radiation of organisms and ecosystems and the potential effects on biodiversity. We also address the responses of plants to increased temporal variability in solar UV radiation, the interactive effects of UV radiation and other climate change factors (e.g. drought, temperature) on crops, and the role of UV radiation in driving the breakdown of organic matter from dead plant material (i.e. litter) and biocides (pesticides and herbicides). Our assessment indicates that UV radiation and climate interact in various ways to affect the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems, and that by protecting the ozone layer, the Montreal Protocol continues to play a vital role in maintaining healthy, diverse ecosystems on land that sustain life on Earth. Furthermore, the Montreal Protocol and its Kigali Amendment are mitigating some of the negative environmental consequences of climate change by limiting the emissions of greenhouse gases and protecting the carbon sequestration potential of vegetation and the terrestrial carbon pool.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24097705. [PMID: 37175414 PMCID: PMC10178566 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24097705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Mancozeb, an antifungal typically used for the growth of fruits, has the characteristic of non-internal absorption, and has a risk of binding to the waxy components of fruits. This work investigated the interaction of pesticide molecules with the waxy layer on the grape surface and their effects on pesticide residues in grapes. The study observed significant changes in the compositions of the waxy layer on the grape surface after soaking in a mancozeb standard solution. The six substances-oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, lupeol, octacosanol, hexacosanal, and γ-sitosterol-with discernible content differences were chosen for molecular docking. Docking results were further visualized by an independent gradient model based on Hirshfeld partition (IGMH). Hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces were found between mancozeb and the six waxy components. Moreover, the negative matrix effects caused by the presence or absence of wax for the determination of mancozeb were different through the QuEChERS-HPLC-MS method. Compared with the residue of mancozeb in grapes (5.97 mg/kg), the deposition of mancozeb in grapes after dewaxing was significantly lower (1.12 mg/kg), which further supports that mancozeb may interact with the wax layer compositions. This work not only provides insights into the study of the interaction between pesticides and small molecules but also provides theoretical guidelines for the investigation of the removal of pesticide residues on the surface of fruits.

Abstract
Phototransformation is an important environmental fate of pesticides on plant leaves. This review found that the photodegradation rates of pesticides on leaves might be faster or slower than those in organic solvents or on glass because of the different spectral patterns and light fluxes on the model surface. Wax was found to play an important role in pesticide phototransformation because it has photosensitizing properties, which might be stimulated under light irradiation to produce reactive species, such as hydroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen, methyl radicals, alkyl radicals, and superoxide radicals. These reactive species could accelerate pesticide photodegradation by several times. Wax can also decrease the photodegradation rate of pesticides by quenching reactive species or light-shielding effects. The environmental conditions and phytochemical properties of leaves play important roles in pesticide phototransformation primarily because the composition of wax varies with plant species and environmental factors. The phototransformation of pesticides on leaves was promoted by a low dosage of adjuvant because they act as photosensitizers and improve the dispersity of pesticides, while it was inhibited at a high concentration of adjuvant because of their light shielding effect. Finally, recommendations for future research were discussed, including (1) distinguishing the direct and indirect photodegradation of pesticides; (2) developing model, molecular level visualization and analysis techniques; (3) conducting more field research; and (4) considering the effect of climate change, especially the interaction of climatic factors. This review gives a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge of pesticide phototransformation on leaves and provides suggestions for future studies.

Abstract
Plants play a central role in the photochemistry of chemicals in the environment. They represent a major atmospheric source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) but also an important environmental surface for the deposition and photochemical reactions of pesticides, gaseous and particulate pollutants. In this review, we point out the role of plant leaves in these processes, as a support affecting the reactions physically and chemically and as a partner through the release of natural constituents (water, secondary metabolites). We discuss the influence of the chosen support (leaves, needle surfaces or fruit cuticles, extracted cuticular waxes and model surfaces) and other factors (additives, pesticides mixture, and secondary metabolites) on the photochemical degradation kinetics and mechanisms. We also show how plants can be a source of photochemically reactive species which can act as photosensitizers promoting the photodegradation of pesticides or the formation and aging of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) and secondary organic materials (SOM). Understanding the fate of chemicals on plants is a research area located at the interface between photochemistry, analytical chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, microbiology and vegetal physiology. Pluridisciplinary approaches are needed to deeply understand these complex phenomena in a comprehensive way. To overcome this challenge, we summarize future research directions which have been clearly overlooked until now.

Abstract
Pesticide dissipation from plant surfaces depends on a variety of factors including meteorological conditions, the pesticide's physicochemical properties, and plant characteristics. Models already exist for describing pesticide behavior in agriculture fields; however, they do not account for pesticide-specific, condition-specific foliar photodegradation and the importance of this component in such models has not yet been investigated. We describe here the Pesticide Dissipation from Agricultural Land (PeDAL) model, which combines (a) multiphase partitioning to predict volatilization, (b) a new kinetics module for predicting photodegradation on leaf surfaces under varying light conditions based on location and timing, and (c) a generic foliar penetration component. The PeDAL model was evaluated by comparing measured pesticide dissipation rates from field experiments, described as the time for the pesticide concentration on leaves to decrease by half (DT50), to ones generated by the model when using the reported field conditions. A sensitivity analysis of the newly developed foliar photodegradation component was conducted. We also showed how the PeDAL could be used by applicators and regulatory agencies. First, we used the model to examine how pesticide application timing affects dissipation rates. Second, we demonstrated how the model can be used to produce emission flux values for use in atmospheric dispersion and transport models.
