Long distance pollen transport cause problems for determining the timing of birch pollen season in Fennoscandia by using phenological observations

Abstract: The male flowering and leaf bud burst of birch take place almost simultaneously, suggesting that the observations of leaf bud burst could be used to determine the timing of birch pollen release. However, long-distance transport of birch pollen before the onset of local flowering may complicate the utilization of phenological observations in pollen forecasting. We compared the timing of leaf bud burst of silver birch with the timing of the stages of birch pollen season during an eight year period (1997)(1998)(1… Show more

“…Even though pollen dispersal is normally treated as a local scale transport phenomenon, long distance dispersal (LDD) through mechanically-and thermally-induced updraft turbulent eddies and regional transport is also possible (Kuparinen, 2006). These additional dispersal mechanisms have been confirmed both by observations (Cecchi et al, 2006;Ranta et al, 2006;Skjøth et al, 2007;Mahura et al, 2007) and by modeling using back trajectory analysis (Smith et al, 2008;Markra et al, 2010) and source apportionment (Veriankaitė et al, 2010;Zink et al, 2012). The regional transport of pollen is especially important from a health impact perspective since non-local pollen sources from LDD will change the local pollen load and shift the exposure potential for pollen allergens Zink et al, 2012).…”

“…Research on atmospheric transport of birch pollen is based on the assumption that the most important sources of atmospheric birch pollen in Europe are the forests in Russia, Belarus, and Baltic and Nordic countries Sofiev et al 2006). However, long-range transport of birch pollen is an episodic phenomenon (Hjelmroos 1991(Hjelmroos , 1992Ranta et al 2006;Skjøth et al 2007). It is therefore likely that most of the observed birch pollen in Denmark is related to Danish birch trees.…”

“…Uzun mesafe taşınım ile ilgili çalışmalar özellikle allerjik öneme sahip Betula ve Ambrosia polenleri üzerinde yapılmıştır. Finlandiya'nın birçok şehrinde yürütülen fenolojik modele dayalı Betula polen sezonunun belirlenmesi çalışmasında, 1999 yılında anormal olarak saptanan polen düzeyinin Rusya ve Estonya'dan hava akımları ile taşınan polenlerden kaynaklandığını belirlenmiştir (64). Litvanya'da tespit edilen Betula polenlerinin Letonya, güney İsveç, Damimarka, Belarus, Ukrayna, Rusya, hatta Almanya ve Polonya'dan uzak mesafe taşınımla geldiği saptanmıştır (65).…”
