“…A low RFO value, on the other hand 5 could reflect either a low proportion or even a temporally highly confined release of spores within a fraction of the analyzed sampling periods of a month. Boddy et al (Boddy et al, 2014) investigated the influence of climate change on the development of the fruiting bodies of Basidiomycetes in Europe and reported an on average, 18-day earlier onset of springtime fruiting fungi in the United Kingdom and Norway, which in both countries was correlated with high winter temperatures (Boddy et al, 2014). Our results agree with their findings and point to a similar influence on Ascomycetes.…”

“…Also, the 10 higher relative proportion in the fine fraction (~57% compared to 48% in the coarse fraction) may help to explain the high proportions, as small spores could have a longer atmospheric residence time, and therefore higher accumulation rates in the atmosphere. agriculture, local flora and fauna, or the allergic sensitization and exposure towards fungal species (Boddy et al, 2014;Fröhlich-Nowoisky et al, 2016;Gange et al, 2007;Wolf et al, 2010).…”

Abstract. Fungi play important roles in the environment, agriculture, and human health. Most fungal species spread by winddriven dispersal of spores, determining their occurrence and distribution in different environments. The dynamics of airborne fungi and their dependence on lifestyle and environmental conditions, however, are not well characterized. 10Here, we categorize the fungi detected in coarse and fine aerosol samples from continental boundary layer air using a lifestyle classification scheme that differentiates whether the fungi are (A) primarily associated to herbaceous or woody plants and (B), whether they are saprophytic, plant pathogenic, or surface inhabitants."Herbaceous" fungi exhibit stronger seasonal variations and correlations with meteorological factors. We find two distinct clusters when viewing the distribution of the fungi between the coarse and fine size fractions. Pathogenic and surface-15 inhabiting herbaceous fungi are shifted towards the coarse size fraction, adapted to impaction on plant surfaces, while saprophytic fungi are shifted towards the fine fraction or are evenly distributed, adapted more to sedimentation and longer atmospheric residence times."Wood" fungi display sporadic occurrences, seen for most saprophytes, or year-round occurrences with seasonal to polycyclic peaks seen amongst pathogens. In comparison to herbaceous fungi they show weaker correlations with meteorological factors. 20They display more even coarse-fine distributions, which may be an adaptation to the calm conditions beneath the forest canopy.The differences reflect lifestyle-dependent sporulation strategies which may facilitate and improve the assessment and forecasting of the abundance and spread of pathogenic fungi and related issues such as crop protection in view of land-use and climate change.

“…Despite these recent moves toward regulation, fungal resources have not yet been sufficiently integrated into multiobjective forest management plans (Mart ınez-Peña et al 2012a, b), and effects of climate variability on fungal ecology are still poorly understood (Boddy et al 2014). The role that fungi may play in ecosystems responding to global change is particularly debatable for the subtropics and warm temperate biomes (Mohan et al 2014), because datasets with adequate temporal and spatial coverage are scarce.…”

Very little is known about the impact of climate change on fungi and especially on spore production. Fungal spores can be allergenic, thus being important for human health. The aim of this study was to investigate how climate change influences the responsive ability of fungi by simulating differing environmental regimes. Fungal species with high spore allergenic potential and atmospheric abundance were grown and experimentally examined under a variety of temperatures and different nutrient availability. Each represented the average decadal air temperature of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s in the UK, along with an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate change scenario for 2100. All tests were run on six fungal species: Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Cladosporium oxysporum and Epicoccum purpurascens. Mycelium growth rate and spore production were examined on each single species and competitive capacity among species combinations in pairs. All fungal species grew faster at higher temperatures, and this was more pronounced for the temperature projection in 2100. Most species grew faster when there was lower nutrient availability. Exceptions were the species with the highest growth rate (E. purpurascens) and with the highest competition capacity (A. alternata). Most species (except for E. purpurascens) produced more spores in the richer nutrient medium but fewer as temperature increased. C. cladosporioides was an exception, exponentially increasing its spore production in the temperature of the 2100 scenario. Regarding competitive capacity, no species displayed any significant alterations within the environmental range checked. It is suggested that in future climates, fungi will display dramatic growth responses, with faster mycelium growth and lower spore production, with questions risen on relevant allergen potential.
