      Climate change impacts on the structure and function of ecosystems will worsen public health issues like allergic diseases. Birch trees (Betula spp.) are important sources of aeroallergens in Central and Northern Europe. ...
    • Spatial interpolation of current airborne pollen concentrations where no monitoring exists 

      Oteros, José; Bergmann, Karl C.; Menzel, Annette; Damialis, Athanasios; Traidl-Hoffmann, Claudia; Schmidt-Weber, Carsten; Buters, Jeroen (Elsevier, 2019)
      Background: Pollen is naturally emitted and is relevant for health, crop sciences and monitoring climate change, among others. Despite their relevance, pollen is often insufficiently monitored resulting in a lack of data. ...
