"Virus deposition rates were positively correlated with organic aerosols <0.7 μm, whereas, bacteria were primarily associated with organic aerosols >0.7 μm, [...] have longer residence times in the atmosphere and, consequently, will be dispersed further."https://t.co/9Li7jrj7eV
🎼(bio)crust in the wind🎼All they are is (bio)crust in the wind.🎼Same old song, just a drop of infected water, drunk by a bee.🎼All we do strugles to be found, but we refuse to see.🎼All we are is (bio)crust in the wind.https://t.co/LPpG34jRHJ
Gaia's Holobiont."Our understanding of how biocrusts regulate core ecosystem functions continues to grow, [...] papers in this special issue highlight the complexity of linkages between the structure and function of biocrusts and ecosystem processes"https://t.co/H9QJMs0PXY
