Relative abundance and genus level taxonomic assignment for ASV of all taxa with >0.5% mean relative abundance for (a) bacteria and (b) fungi; Relative abundance fold differences for taxa from ocean and continent-derived air mass, for (c) bacteria and (e) fungi; Net Relatedness Index (NRI) of phylogenetic structure for continental and ocean-derived atmosphere taxa for (d) bacteria (continent n = 8, ocean n = 19, control n = 7) and (f) fungal (continent n = 8, ocean n = 17, control n = 5) ASVs, error bars indicate standard error of the mean for all samples. Bacterial analysis was based on a phylogenetic tree derived using maximum likelihood analysis of 16S rRNA gene ASVs. Fungal analysis utilised a neighbour joining tree that was compared with topology of whole genome trees for fungi at high taxonomic ranks, in order to be conservative regarding the phylogenetic information provided by ITS (Supplementary Information, Supplementary Methods)
