Abstract

Abstract. Biogenic aerosols are relevant for the Earth system, climate, and public health on local, regional, and global scales. Up to now, however, little is known about the diversity and biogeography of airborne microorganisms. We present the first DNA-based analysis of airborne fungi on global scales, showing pronounced geographic patterns and boundaries. In particular we find that the ratio of species richness between Basidiomycota and Ascomycota is much higher in continental air than in marine air. This may be an important difference between the "blue ocean" and "green ocean" regimes in the formation of clouds and precipitation, for which fungal spores can act as nuclei. Our findings also suggest that air flow patterns and the global atmospheric circulation are important for the understanding of global changes in biodiversity.

  • Some fungal spores most abundant in the Earth's atmosphere and very common for fungal spores of 2-4 μm (Cladosporium sp., Aspergillus versicolor, Penicillium solitum) only show a weak signal in the emission wavelength of 310 to 400 nm.

    “Some fungal spores most abundant in the Earth's atmosphere and very common for fungal spores of 2-4 µm ( Cladosporium sp., Aspergillus versicolor, Penicillium solitum ) (Fröhlich-Nowoisky et al., 2012; Hameed and Khodr, 2001) only show a weak signal in the emission wavelength of 310 to 400 nm (Saari et al., 2013; Healy et al., 2014).”

    From Regional-scale simulations of fungal spore aerosols using an emission parameterization adapted to local measurements of fluorescent biological aerosol particles (2015) · cites this paper as Fröhlich-Nowoisky et al., 2012

    The Results and discussion section describes Cladosporium spp. and Penicillium spp. as abundant airborne molds, and gives a typical size range of approximately 2–5 µm for prominent airborne ascomycotic fungi. It does not establish the stated 2–4 µm range or identify Aspergillus versicolor and Penicillium solitum as particularly abundant. The weak 310–400 nm emission signal is attributed to different citations in the citing sentence, not to this paper. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
