This book explores the atmosphere as a dynamic transport system for microorganisms and small organisms such as insects. It brings together interdisciplinary competence from Life, Earth and Mathematical Sciences to describe emissions processes such as wildfire smoke, sea spray and recurrent uplift from plant canopies; transport processes and trajectories in the past, present and future; and how the voyagers survive the atmospheric physico-chemical conditions. The book introduces tools to trace dispersal routes, assess post-deposition impacts, as well as the concepts of ""atmospheric biogeography"" and ""windsheds"" to understand and anticipate microbial movement across landscapes and borders.
