From: Airborne DNA reveals predictable spatial and seasonal dynamics of fungi
a, The sampling sites include locations in the tropical-subtropical (red), temperate (cyan) and polar-continental (purple) climatic zones, shown here superimposed on a map of MAT. Airborne fungal samples were collected by a cyclone sampler, each sample consisting of fungal spores filtered from 24 m3 of air during the 24 h sampling period. b, The study design included weekly samples taken over 1–2 years, with some variation among sites due to logistical constraints. The site name abbreviations (three-letter codes next to the site numbers) correspond to those used in the published data59. c, The data-generation pipeline produced data matrices that were used for the ecological analyses: the spatial and temporal coordinates of the samples, species occurrence data (Y), climatic and weather data (X), fungal guild and spore size data (T) and taxonomic affiliations serve as a proxy for phylogenetic relationships (C).
