Vertical Stratification in Urban Green Space Aerobiomes [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Health Perspectives, 2020
AbstractExposure to a diverse environmental microbiome is thought to play an important role in ‘educating’ the immune system and facilitating competitive exclusion of pathogens to maintain human health. Vegetation and soil are known to be key sources of airborne microbiota––theaerobiome.
