The impact of temperature on increased airborne pollen and earlier onset of the pollen season in Trentino, Northern Italy
The impact of climate change on ecosystems can be assessed through pollen dispersion data, which acts as a proxy for the plant flowering stage. The...

Analysis of the annual pollen integral in Albuquerque, New Mexico, shows a negative trend with temperatures for Juniper, Cottonwood, Elm, and Mulberry
The goal of this study is to determine if the annual pollen integral (APIn) for the top tree allergens in the City of Albuquerque is correlated with...

Five-year airborne pollen calendar for a Sonoran Desert city and the relationships with meteorological variability
Aerobiological studies are still scarce in northwestern Mexico where allergenic pollen have great impacts on health. Current global pollution and...

How does pollen production of allergenic species differ between urban and rural environments?
Pollen production is one plant characteristic that is considered to be altered by changes in environmental conditions. In this study, we investigated...

Impacts of climate change on airborne Quercus pollen trends in Andalusia region (southern Spain)
Quercus species are the most frequent autochthonous arboreal taxa in the natural areas of Andalusia region (southern Spain). Due to their abundance...

Summer pollen flora in rural and urban central England dominated by nettle, ryegrass and other pollen missed by the national aerobiological network
Abundance and diversity of airborne pollen are important to human health and biodiversity. The UK operational network collects airborne pollen from 8...

A study on correlations between precipitation ETCCDI and airborne pollen/fungal spore parameters in the NE Iberian Peninsula
Precipitation is one of the meteorological variables usually involved in the aerobiological studies, which presents a complex relationship with...

Investigation of spatial and temporal variations of airborne Poaceae, Myrtaceae and Cupressaceae pollen and Alternaria spores in Sydney, Australia, 2017–2020
There is a need for information on pollen exposure to assess allergy risk. Monitoring of aeroallergens in a city is usually limited to the use of a...

Pollen production of downy birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh.) along an altitudinal gradient in the European Alps
High-altitude environments are highly susceptible to the effects of climate change. Thus, it is crucial to examine and understand the behaviour of...

Allergenic tree pollen in Johannesburg and Cape Town as a public health risk: towards a sustainable implementation framework for South African cities
South Africa’s urban population is increasing, and in parallel, urban green infrastructure has shown an increase in alien tree species, e.g.,...

Analysis of allergenic pollen data, focusing on a pollen load threshold statement
Airborne allergenic pollen affects a significant part of the population and the information on pollen load is a valuable tool for public health...

Increasing chronic anthropogenic disturbances and aridity differentially impact pollen traits and female reproductive success of Tacinga palmadora (Cactaceae) in a Caatinga dry forest
Ecological interactions in tropical ecosystems are being modified by chronic anthropogenic disturbances (CAD) and climate change. Pollination is a...

A systematic review of the effects of temperature and precipitation on pollen concentrations and season timing, and implications for human health
Climate and weather directly impact plant phenology, affecting airborne pollen. The objective of this systematic review is to examine the impacts of...

Short term physician visits and medication prescriptions for allergic disease associated with seasonal tree, grass, and weed pollen exposure across the United States
BackgroundWhile year-round exposure to pollen is linked to a large burden of allergic diseases, location-specific risk information on pollen types...

Characterisation of pollen seasons in Iceland based on long-term observations: 1988–2018
This paper describes a long-term (1988–2018) data series from pollen monitoring in two locations in Iceland: Akureyri and Reykjavík. Our data showed...

Consequences of climate change on airborne pollen in Bavaria, Central Europe
Climate change affects the reproductive life cycles of plants, including pollen production, which has consequences for allergic respiratory diseases....

Influence of environmental drivers on allergy to pollen grains in a case study in Spain (Madrid): meteorological factors, pollutants, and airborne concentration of aeroallergens
The aim of this study was to compare airborne levels of Phl p 1 and Phl p 5, with Poaceae pollen concentrations inside and outside of the pollen...

Changes in qualitative and quantitative traits of birch (Betula pendula) pollen allergenic proteins in relation to the pollution contamination
Birch ( Betula pendula ) pollen causes inhalant allergy in about 20% of human population in Europe, most of which is sensitive to the main birch...
