Influence of tree provenance on biogenic VOC emissions of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) stumps

► Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from Scots pine stumps were measured. ► Emission rates relative to stump area were 27-1582 mg h−1 m−2 after cutting. ► Tree provenance affected the VOC composition. ► Emission rates were estimated for different aged pine stands. ► Fresh stump surface is a significant source of monoterpene emissions.
