Do Changes in Connectivity Explain Desertification? (2009, background): “Atmo spheric dust, with its myriad effects (Okin et al. 2004, Kaufman et al. 2005, Kellogg and Griffin 2006), is produced by erosional processes in deserts worldwide and increases with desertification (Moulin and Chiapello 2006).”
Atmosphere: A Source of Pathogenic or Beneficial Microbes? (2012, background): “The largest sources of dust to Earth’s atmosphere are the Sahara and Sahel regions of North Africa and the Gobi, Taklamakan, and Badain Juran deserts of Asia [27].”
Microbial survival in the stratosphere and implications for global dispersal (2011, background): “restricts most airborne microbes to lower altitudes, a wide range of mechanisms can transport aerosols (or biological cells) from the troposphere to the stratosphere, including the following: volcanic eruptions (Jacob 1999); Brewer–Dobson atmospheric circulation (Wallace and Hobbs 2006); dust storms”
Call of the wild: antibiotic resistance genes in natural environments (2010, background): “Even bacteria from environments that are thought to be stationary, such as soil, can be moved by the forces of nature; one example is the intercontinental transport of bacteria on desert dus”
Mechanisms and ecological implications of the movement of bacteria in soil (2018, background): “, 1995) or even by blowing wind [in dry top soils] (Kellogg and Griffin, 2006).”
Bacterial abundance and viability in long-range transported dust (2012, methodology): “Although culturable and non-culturable bacterial communities in dust were frequently analyzed (Echigo et al., 2005; Hua et al., 2007; Jeon et al., 2011; Kellogg and Griffin, 2006; Lee et al., 2009; Maki et al., 2010; Perfumo and Marchant, 2010), those investigations did not determine of airborne bac”
Microbiology and atmospheric processes: chemical interactions of primary biological aerosols (2008, neutral): “They can be viable organisms capable of metabolic reactions which can involve atmospheric organic compounds and oxidants (airborne micro-organisms) (Ariya and Amyot, 2004; Sun and Ariya, 2006).”
Any way the wind blows ‐ frequent wind dispersal drives species sorting in ephemeral aquatic communities (2008, background): “Bacteria and fungi are known to disperse between continents in dust clouds generated by storm activity over deserts (Kellogg and Griffin 2006).”
In situ detection of biological particles in cloud ice-crystals (2009, background): “Although the long-range co-transport of dust and biological particles at high altitudes has been observed previousl”
Detailed identification of desert-originated bacteria carried by Asian dust storms to Japan (2007, background): “Bacteria and fungi responsible for diseases in human, animals, and plants have been identified from airborne desert dust samples in Africa and Asia (Kwon et al. 2002; Kellogg et al. 2004; Kellogg and Griffin 2006 ).”
Microbiology and atmospheric processes: research challenges concerning the impact of airborne micro-organisms on the atmosphere and climate (2011, neutral): “which were particularly dominant in the air during a dust event (Kellogg and Griffin, 2006).”
The ecotoxicology of nanoparticles and nanomaterials: current status, knowledge gaps, challenges, and future needs (2008, background): “If we consider atmospheric dust alone, estimates indicate about one billion metric tons per year are produced globally (Kellogg and Griffin 2006), and even with a fraction of this as ultrafine particles, this would be millions of tons of natural nanoparticles.”
Environmental filtering affects soil fungal community composition more than dispersal limitation at regional scales (2014, background): “Fungal diaspora are known to travel transcontinental distances viawind currents (Brown andHovmoeller, 2002;Munoz et al., 2004; Kellogg and Griffin, 2006).”
Stratospheric microbiology at 20 km over the Pacific Ocean (2010, background): “Meteorological factors control the altitude, distribution, and residency time of particles aloft (Deshler et al. 1993; Griffin et al. 2001; Bauman et al. 2003; Kellogg and Griffin 2006; Wainwright et al. 2006; Griffin 2007).”
Modelling the effect of size on the aerial dispersal of microorganisms (2012, neutral): “Indeed, in a recent review, Kellogg & Griffin (2006) were only able to find five studies that had attempted to measure the microbial content of atmospheric dust that had been transported for distances in excess of 2000 km.”
Phylogenetic diversity and vertical distribution of a halobacterial community in the atmosphere of an Asian dust (KOSA) source region, Dunhuang City (2008, background): “…bacteria, fungi, and pollen, as well as plant and animal debris (Jones and Harrison 2004) are reported to negatively influence plant and animal health and cause diseases, such as asthma (due to allergens) or other illnesses (Griffin 2007; Griffin and Kellogg 2004; Kellogg and Griffin 2006).”
Ice nucleation activity in the widespread soil fungus Mortierella alpina (2015, neutral): “…several strategies for dispersal over long distances and at potentially high altitudes (Imshenetsky et al., 1978; Hawksworth, 2001; Brown and Hovmøller, 2002; Griffin, 2004; Prospero et al., 2005; Kellogg and Griffin, 2006; Elbert et al., 2007; Pearce et al., 2009; DeLeon-Rodriguez et al., 2013).”
Accelerated biodegradation of pesticides: An overview of the phenomenon, its basis and possible solutions; and a discussion on the tropical dimension (2007, background): “Due to their small size, their high number and their ability to form stable dormant forms, microorganisms can be easily transported across the planet (Finlay, 2002; Kellogg and Griffin, 2006).”
Myxomycete diversity and distribution from the fossil record to the present (2008, background): “A process that could transfer enormous numbers of microorganisms into the atmosphere was identiWed in the late 1990’s, when satellite images revealed the astonishing magnitude by which desert soils are aerosolized into giant clouds of dust (GriYn et al. 2001, 2002; Kellogg and GriYn 2006 ).”
