  1. Total number of 14-day dust samples, or the subset of 14-day dust samples with ≥ 20 OTU, that yielded a ≥ 90% TP, less than 600 km AT5PE, or true positive geographic attribution from analysis of constituent plant eDNA from samples collected at the sites indicated. A true positive attribution was defined ≥ 90% TP with < 600 km AT5PE.
