“…The high concentrations of Ambrosia pollen in Ivano-Frankivsk are in agreement with earlier data from aerobiological studies conducted in the neighboring area of Ukraine [58][59][60]. The southeastern areas of Ukraine are characterized by very high pollen concentrations.…”

Ambrosia pollen contains strong allergens. Allergic reactions can also be caused by direct contact with the plant. The investigations of the dynamics of Ambrosia pollen seasons were conducted in Lublin (Poland) and Ivano-Frankivsk (Ukraine) in 2013–2015. The onset and end of the seasons, maximum concentrations, annual sums, and the number of days with an allergy risk were determined. Additionally, the types of trichomes present on different parts of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. shoots were determined using light microscopy. Morphometric studies were carried out on trichomes sampled from staminate inflorescences. The maximum concentrations and annual sums of Ambrosia pollen were shown to be substantially higher in Ivano-Frankivsk than in Lublin. Similarly, the risk of allergies is higher in the study site in Ukraine. The study results indicate that the presence of Ambrosia pollen grains in Lublin may be associated with long-distance transport. The presence of non-glandular and glandular trichomes was found on the examined organs. The staminate inflorescences were covered by two types of non-glandular trichomes (short and long) and two types of glandular trichomes (linear and biseriate), whose secretory product can cause dermatitis in sensitive subjects upon contact with the plant.

“…One of such herbaceous plants is a member of the family Compositae, genus Ambrosia L. -Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., which is rapidly "capturing" the territory of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Currently, A. artemisiifolia is one of the most dangerous invasive plants in our country, which has spread to 24 regions (Palamarchuk et al [9]; M. M. Neilyk, Ya. G. Tsytsiura [1]).…”

The corresponding literature on the peculiarities of further intensive distribution of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. in Europe and directly in Ukraine have been studied. The botanical characteristics of this plant are given. On the basis of the conducted expeditionary researches, new locations of A. artemisiifolia in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine (RBFS) were revealed and the main stages of ontogenetic development were investigated. It was found out that before the winterset in these conditions, this invasive plant has time to produce viable seeds. Data on the ability of A. artemisiifolia to tolerate long periods of drought, accompanied by a sharp rise in temperature, have been confirmed. It is also noted that this herbaceous plant tolerates semi-shade conditions satisfactorily. High resistance of A. artemisiifolia to sharp fluctuations of air temperature in spring and autumn periods is revealed. The germination energy and seed germination of the studied species, collected in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine, were established by conducting experimental researches. The dynamics of shoot growth during the growing season was observed on the research areas. High regenerative capacity to restore lost organs (shoots) was noted. A method of complex assessment of the adaptation potential of A. artemisiifolia is proposed, based on indicators of temperature fluctuations, drought resistance, light requirement, relation to soil fertility, vegetative reproduction, seed reproduction, regeneration of shoots, using complex coefficient of the adaptation potential (CCAAPR). Based on this coefficient, which was calculated according to the formula CCAAPR = FWR + DR + LR + RSF + VR + SR + RS, the adaptation potential of A. artemisiifolia in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine was determined to be high.

The aim of the study is to provide a survey on the history of ragweed worldwide. Its climate dependence, impacts in agriculture, health effects and social costs are also presented. In Europe common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) is predominant of all Ambrosia species that is supported by population genetic data. The most important habitat areas of ragweed and the highest pollen concentrations occur, in decreasing order of the pollen levels (1) in the south-western part of the European Russia, (2) in the southern and eastern parts of Ukraine, (3) in the Pannonian Plain in Central Europe, (4) in the Rhône-Alpes region in France, furthermore (5) in the Po River valley in Italy. Besides Europe, ragweed occurs in China, India, Japan and in other Asian countries, furthermore in Australia and the Unites States of America. However, beyond the USA little information is available. Warming trends due to the climate change favours the expansion of ragweed, producing higher pollen levels worldwide. In association with the warming, increasing ambient CO2 levels generate greater biomass and increased pollen production. Hence, ragweed pollen production can be expected to increase significantly under predicted future climate conditions, bringing severe impacts to areas that have yet been suffering slightly.
