The aim of the work was a spatiotemporal analysis of the concentration of Ganoderma spores in the air of a city and a village in a transitional temperate climate. Particular attention was paid to the types of land development, in which monitoring was carried out using Hirst volumetric traps. Furthermore, monitoring was carried out at various heights. Studies have shown that on a small spatial scale, the dynamics of the seasons of Ganoderma spore occurrence in the air are similar. However, the intensity of seasons, determined by the total sum of spores, is lower in the city than in the countryside. Differences in concentrations were found between sites located at different heights – the higher it is, the lower the concentrations are and the longer delay in the hours of maximum concentrations. The research confirms the hypothesis that land development, weather factors, and the altitude at which monitoring is carried out influence the aerobiology of Ganoderma spores.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12683,"journal":{"name":"Fungal biology","volume":"129 2","pages":"Article 101542"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143182678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
