  abstract = {{W}e investigated the effect of sewage sludge compost spreading on plant growth and leaf terpene emissions and content of {Q}uercus coccifera, {R}osmarinus officinalis and {C}istus albidus in a {M}editerranean shrubland. {M}easurements were performed during 3 consecutive summers on 2 different plots treated in 2002 or 2007 with 50 or 100 tons of compost per hectare, corresponding to observations carried out 2 months to 7 years after spreading. {A} slight nutrient enrichment of soil and leaves ({R}. officinalis and {C}. albidus) was observed, especially for phosphorous. {T}erpene emissions were not affected by compost spreading, although they tended to increase on treated plots after 6 and 7 years for {R}. officinalis and {C} albidus respectively. {T}erpene content was not affected by any compost treatment. {L}eaf and stem growth were significantly enhanced by compost spreading after 2 and/or 7 years in all species with little difference between doses. {T}otal leaf biomass on the last growth units was increased by more than 50% in {C} albidus and more than 90% in {Q}. coccifera. {T}he results suggest that compost spreading in {M}editteranean shrublands has no or little direct effect on leaf terpene emissions, but indirectly leads to their increase through leaf biomass enhancement. {S}imulation of terpene emissions at stand level revealed an increase of terpene fluxes ranging between 6 and 13%, depending on the plant species. {O}verall, compost spreading was assessed to result in an emission rate of 1.1 kg ha(-1) y(-1) for a typical {Q}. coccifera shrubland, but can reach 2.6 kg ha(-1) y(-1) for a typical {R}. officinalis shrubland.},
