The atmosphere connects habitats across multiple spatial scales via airborne dispersal of
microbial cells, propagules and biomolecules. Atmospheric microorganisms have been …

Aerosols of biological origin play a vital role in the Earth system, particularly in the
interactions between atmosphere, biosphere, climate, and public health. Airborne bacteria …

Microbial communities typically contain many rare taxa that make up the majority of the
observed membership, yet the contribution of this microbial “rare biosphere” to community …

Airborne microorganisms (AM), vital components of particulate matters (PM), are widespread
in the atmosphere. Since some AM have pathogenicity, they can lead to a wide range of …

Numerous recent studies have highlighted that the types of bacteria present in the
atmosphere often show predictable patterns across space and time. These patterns can be …

Glaciers and ice sheets, like other biomes, occupy a significant area of the planet and
harbour biological communities with distinct interactions and feedbacks with their physical …

Architects and engineers are beginning to consider a new dimension of indoor air: the
structure and composition of airborne microbial communities. A first step in this emerging …

Bacteria and fungi are ubiquitous throughout the Earth's lower atmosphere where they often
represent an important component of atmospheric aerosols with the potential to impact …

Dispersal of microbes between humans and the built environment can occur through direct
contact with surfaces or through airborne release; the latter mechanism remains poorly …

In the past few decades, especially since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-
19), the effects of atmospheric bioaerosols on human health, the environment, and climate …
