“…Research into the relationship between meteorological variables and Cupressaceae pollen production is of great interest for pollen-allergy prevention, since it enables the construction of prediction models aimed at forecasting pollen season start-and end-dates, duration, intensity, daily counts, etc. (Galán et al 1998;Teranishi et al 2000;Díaz de la Guardia et al 2006;Fuertes-Rodríguez et al 2007).…”

The influence of meteorological variables on airborne Cupressaceae pollen levels in central Spain was analyzed, and prediction models based on polynomial and multiple regressions were used to predict pollen counts throughout the pollen season. The Cupressaceae pollen type was selected in view of both its abundance in the atmosphere of the central Iberian Peninsula (particularly from January to March) and its allergenic importance. Sampling was performed uninterruptedly over a 5-year period, using a Hirst volumetric sampler and the sampling method established by the Spanish Aerobiology Network. Temperature displayed the strongest (positive) correlation with Cupressaceae pollen counts. Polynomial and multiple regression analysis showed that maximum temperature was the most influential variable included in prediction models. The prediction equations obtained for the study period were reasonably satisfactory, accounting for 48% and 59% of the variation in airborne pollen levels.

“…Many studies have confirmed the relationship between climatic trend and various phenological phases of different plant and animal species (Sparks et al 2000;Beaubien and Freeland 2000;Jaagus and Ahas 2000;Teranishi et al 2000;Menzel et al 2001;Peñuelas et al 2002;Chmielewski and Rötzer 2002;Orlandi et al 2005a, b). Therefore, it can be supposed that a hypothetical future climate change will determine modifications in a spatial distribution of the most sensitive species and a temporal shift of the onset of different phenophases (Higgins and Richardson 1999;Schwartz and Reiter 2000;Schwartz and Chen 2002;Neilson et al 2005).…”

Evidences of olive pollination date variations in relation to spring temperature trends

Airborne pollen concentration patterns reflect flowering phenology of a given species, and it may be a sensitive regional indicator in climate change studies. This paper presents the relationship between a strategic biological event, such as olive flowering, and the air temperature trend, registered over a large scale in the Umbria region. The aim of the study was to determine relationships between phenological behaviour (flowering) of olive trees and the air temperature trend in the Umbria region. The phenological data on flowering phase were registered indirectly through an aerobiological monitoring technique. The obtained results showed a strong relationship between phenology and thermal trend. This characteristic was confirmed from results of correlations between temperature (mean temperature from 1st March) and flowering dates, especially that of full flowering (r = -0.9297). Moreover, the results showed an advance trend of 6, 8 and 10 days, respectively of start, full and end of flowering dates. The advance of the recorded flowering time in this period is to ascribe mainly to the increase of mean temperature and above all to that registered in months of May and June.

“…The climate and its variability are strictly tied with the biorhythms of plants and animals (Sparks et al 2000;Beaubien and Freeland 2000;Jaagus and Ahas 2000;Teranishi et al 2000;Menzel et al 2001;Peňuelas et al 2002;Chmielewski and Rötzer 2002;Orlandi et al 2005b, c). Among other atmospheric parameters, temperature is the most interesting to consider because it influences several physiological processes such as transpiration, respiration, photosynthesis, enzymatic activity, and the formation and degradation of several fruit compounds (fatty acids, polyphenol, chlorophyll).…”

Correlation between large-scale atmospheric fields and the olive pollen season in Central Italy

Olives are one of the largest crops in the Mediterranean and in central and southern Italy. This work investigates the correlation of the Olea europaea L. pollen season in Perugia, the capital city of the region of Umbria in central Italy, with atmospheric parameters. The aim of the study is twofold. First, we study the correlation between the pollen season and the surface air temperature of the spring and late spring in Perugia. Second, the correlation between the pollen season and large-scale atmospheric patterns is investigated. The average surface temperature in the spring and late spring has a clear impact on the pollen season in Perugia. Years with higher average temperatures have an earlier onset of the pollen season. In particular, a 1 degrees C higher (lower) average surface temperature corresponds to an earlier (later) start of the pollen season of about 1 week. The correlation between the pollen season and large-scale atmospheric patterns of sea level pressure and 500-hPa geopotential height shows that the cyclonic activity in the Mediterranean is unequivocally tied to the pollen season in Perugia. A larger than average cyclonic activity in the Mediterranean Basin corresponds to a later than average pollen season. Larger than average cyclonic activity in Northern Europe and Siberia corresponds to an earlier than average pollen season. A possible explanation of this correlation, that needs further investigation to be proven, is given. These results can have a practical application by using the seasonal forecast of atmospheric general circulation models.
