Significant influence of fungi on coarse carbonaceous and potassium aerosols in a tropical rainforest by Zhisheng Zhang, Guenter Engling, Leiming Zhang, Kimitaka Kawamura, Yihong Yang, Jun Tao, Renjian Zhang, Chuen-yu Chan, Yide Li

“…Fungal spores are ubiquitous in the Earth’s atmosphere, especially in the environment of tropical rainforests with intense biological activities. To assess the impact of fungi on chemical components of atmospheric aerosols at a Chinese tropical rainforest site, size-segregated fungal spore tracers (i.e. arabitol and mannitol) were measured along with major aerosol components, including carbonaceous species and water-soluble inorganic ions. …”

Effects of drought and recovery on soil volatile organic compound fluxes in an experimental rainforest by Giovanni Pugliese, Johannes Ingrisch, Laura K. Meredith, Eva Y. Pfannerstill, Thomas Klüpfel, Kathiravan Meeran, Joseph Byron, Gemma Purser, Juliana Gil-Loaiza, Joost van Haren, Katerina Dontsova, Jürgen Kreuzwieser, S. Nemiah Ladd, Christiane Werner, Jonathan Williams

“…Here we show the impact of prolonged drought followed by rewetting and recovery on soil VOC fluxes in an experimental rainforest. Under wet conditions the rainforest soil acts as a net VOC sink, in particular for isoprenoids, carbonyls and alcohols. …”
