Ice Nucleation Activity of Alpine Bioaerosol Emitted in Vicinity of a Birch Forest

Ice Nucleation Activity of Alpine Bioaerosol Emitted in Vicinity of a Birch Forest

In alpine environments, many plants, bacteria, and fungi contain ice nuclei (IN) that control freezing events, providing survival benefits. Once airborne, IN could trigger ice nucleation in cloud droplets, influencing the radiation budget and the hydrological cycle. To estimate the atmospheric relev...
