Influence of meteorological conditions and climate on pollen season of the early-flowering woody taxa in Poland, Central Europe.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to analyse the spatial and temporal variability of the pollen seasons in Poland and to demonstrate the impact of meteorological parameters on the course of the pollen seasons within the context of climate change over two decades 2003-2012 and 2013-2022. Five early-flowering plant taxa were selected for analysis: Alnus (alder), Corylus (hazel), Populus (poplar), Ulmus (elm), and Salix (willow). Daily airborne pollen data were collected using a Hirst-type pollen trap in six cities across Poland, representing different climatic conditions. Firstly, long-term air temperature trends were analysed to identify spatial and temporal climate variability. Secondly, the differences in pollen seasons between stations were compared to assess the spatial variation. Thirdly, pre-s
