Seasonality of Airborne Fungi

  • Chapter
Phenology and Seasonality Modeling

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 8))

Abstract

The microbiology of the atmosphere has been studied in many parts of the world using a variety of methods and approaches. Among the first to sample continuously over long periods of time was Miquel (1885) in the late 1800s at the Observatorie Municipal Montsouris, Paris. However, his and other studies under taken throughout the first half of the 20th century were qualitative but not quantitative.
