Automatic detection of airborne pollen: an overview
traditionally been carried out using manual methods first developed in the early 1950s. Although this technique has been recently standardised, it suffers from several draw-backs, notably data usually only being ...
Mapping abundance distributions of allergenic tree species in urbanized landscapes: A nation-wide study for Belgium using forest inventory and citizen science data
not readily available. This research presents an approach to produce high-resolution abundance maps of allergenic tree species using existing forest inventories and opportunistic open-access citizen ...
Spatio-Temporal Modeling of Grass and Birch Pollen in Belgium
representativeness of the airborne pollen into enough detail for individual use. Chemistry Transport Models (CTM ’s) are able to quantify the spatial and temporal distributions of airborne pollen at different scales ...
Exposure to green space and pollen allergy symptom severity: A case-crossover study in Belgium
symptom severity scores and matched these to 404 control days. The data were analyzed using conditional logistic regression with a 1:1 case-crossover design. Results: Case days were associated with exposure ...
Association between local airborne tree pollen composition and surrounding land cover across different spatial scales in Northern Belgium
Non-metric multidimensional scaling was used to investigate environmental gradients that determine the pollen composition and amounts. Land cover types were identified across spatial scales ranging between 20 m and 5 km. The ...
Spatio-Temporal Monitoring and Modelling of Birch Pollen in Belgium
’s) are therefore an interesting tool to both quantify and forecast its spatial and temporal distribution. Here we show the results of the spatio-temporal modelled birch pollen over Belgium using the ...
Spatial and temporal variations in airborne pollen in Europe.
Europe and for monitoring its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The goal of the present study is to provide a baseline for spatial and temporal variations in airborne pollen in Europe that can be used for ...
