Abstract: | Volumetric data on airborne pollen have been gathered for two consecutive years at a neotropical location (Caracas). Among
the 65 taxa which were identified, pollen from aCupressus species (introduced) and from aCecropia species (indigenous) were dominant. Less numerous but also abundant (daily averages ≥5 grains/m3 air) were pollen from Gramineae, Urticaceae,Alcalypha, Pinus, Piperaceae andMimosa. Pollen grains were recorded daily throughout the year. They increased in numbers during April–May and again during November–December.
The first peak was contributed mainly by indigenous species, the second peak mainly by introduced species. |
