Alnus; Alopecurus pratensis; Anemone (plant); Betula pendula; Larix decidua; North Atlantic Oscillation; Quercus robur; Salix caprea; allergens; altitude; flowering; heat sums; soil temperature; spring; trees; winter; Central European region; Czech Republic
Abstract:
... This paper analyses long-term (1960–2015) onset of flowering in 16 native terrestrial plants (11 of them produce important allergens) recorded in different parts of the Czech Republic (southern, central and northern part) in relation to the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index of the preceding winter and thermal data—growing degree-days (GDD) and soil temperature. Flowering occurred significantl ...

Subject:
Alnus; Artemisia vulgaris; Betula; Fraxinus; Platanus; allergenicity; grasses; monitoring; pollen; spore traps; temporal variation; trees; Belgium
Abstract:
... For the first time in Belgium, fluctuations in airborne pollen quantities over a 34 years period have been analyzed. Seven pollen types have been selected comprising the most clinically relevant in Belgium nowadays (birch, alder, hazel and grasses) and others that are known to be allergenic in other European countries and frequently found in Belgium (plane, ash and mugwort). Pollen monitoring was ...

Alnus; air pollution; allergens; climate; flowering; hybrids; hypersensitivity; introduced plants; planting; pollen; spore traps; towns; trees; Switzerland
Abstract:
... Alnus × spaethii is a hybrid alder with the parent species A. japonica and A. subcordata. It is known for both its tolerance for urban climate conditions and enhanced air pollution concentrations and hence often figures on recommended tree guidance lists in towns. At the MeteoSwiss pollen station of Buchs (Switzerland), unusual early peaks of alder pollen already in December or January have been o ...

Acer; Alnus; Betula; Castanea; Cupressaceae; Myrtaceae; Olea europaea; Pinaceae; Plantago; Platanus; Poaceae; Populus; Quercus; Urticaceae; allergenicity; flowering; grasses; meteorological parameters; pollen; spring; summer; surveys; trees; weeds; Portugal
Abstract:
... Airborne pollen calendars are useful to estimate the flowering season of the different plants as well as to indicate the allergenic potential present in the atmosphere at a given time. In this study, it is presented a 10-year survey of the atmospheric concentration of allergenic pollen types. Airborne pollen was performed, from 2003 to 2012, using a 7-day Hirst-type volumetric trap. The interannua ...

ISSN:

Subject:
Alnus; Betula; Corylus; flowering; models; odds ratio; pollen; prediction; regression analysis; temperature; trees; Poland
Abstract:
... Thermal conditions at the beginning of the year determine the timing of pollen seasons of early flowering trees. The aims of this study were to quantify the relationship between the tree pollen season start dates and the thermal conditions just before the beginning of the season and to construct models predicting the start of the pollen season in a given year. The study was performed in Krakow (So ...

Abstract:
... The global climate change reported over recent years may prompt changes in the atmospheric pollen season (APS). The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible impact provoked by meteorological conditions variations at different seasons of the year or different geographical areas on APS. Alnus, Betula and Castanea atmospheric pollen seasons and trends during the last 17 years at Ourense and Vigo ...

The work was carried out in the Polish cities of Szczecin and Rzeszów that are located in different climatic regions. Correlations between pollen concentrations and meteorological data were investigated using Spear ...

Abstract:
... Toledo is one of the main tourist spots of Spain, attracting around two million visitors per year. Its geographical situation in the vast and scarcely monitored Region of Castilla La Mancha and the high number of tourists (especially in the spring) has resulted in the Spanish Aerobiology Network (REA) making this city a major study objective. Air monitoring studies carried out using REA sampling p ...
