Article Synopsis
- Advances in technology for species identification have led to the development of a new field sampling method that integrates sensor data with automated processing.
- The LIFEPLAN project employs five systematic field sampling methods, accessible to individuals with basic biology or ecology training, to gather biodiversity data globally.
- The article details the steps for collecting various types of data, such as images, audio, invertebrate samples, soil, and air, while emphasizing the importance of metadata and acknowledging that technology and equipment will continue to evolve for improved data collection.
Fungi are among the most diverse and ecologically important kingdoms in life. However, the distributional ranges of fungi remain largely unknown as do the ecological mechanisms that shape their distributions. To provide an integrated view of the spatial and seasonal dynamics of fungi, we implemented a globally distributed standardized aerial sampling of fungal spores.

The sampling of airborne spores with a cyclone sampler, and the sequencing of their DNA, have been suggested as an efficient and well-calibrated tool for surveying fungal diversity across various environments. Here we present data originating from the Global Spore Sampling Project, comprising 2,768 samples collected during two years at 47 outdoor locations across the world.
