Future studies should focus on a broader range of tree species to understand how various physiological traits influence isoprene emissions under elevated CO2 conditions, which would aid in developing more comprehensive models for predicting emissions at the ecosystem level. Additionally, future research should explore how elevated CO2 interacts with other environmental factors, such as temperature, moisture, and pollutants like ozone and nitrogen oxide, to build a more holistic understanding of isoprene emissions.
