TERN Weekly Pollen Count - Murdoch University, Perth, Western Australia 2006

Dataset extent

Description

The datafile, published by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) contains the composition and abundance of airborne pollen for the location of Murdoch University, Perth, Australia. The data was collected for the period between September 2006 to December 2006 as part of a study of atmospheric particles and human health. This forms part of a study of the Australian Aerobiology working group (Haberle, Bowman, Newnham, Johnston, Beggs, Buters, Campbell, Erbas, Godwin, Green, Heute, Jaggard, Medek, Murray, Newbiggin, Thibaudon, Vicendese, Williamson, Davies “The macroecology of airborne pollen in Australian and New Zealand urban areas” ).

Airborne pollen counts were derived from deployment of a Burkhardt volumetric pollen and spore trap located on a rooftop at 15m above the ground. The sampler used a range of adhesive surface compounds on glass slides. The glass slides were stained with fuchsine. Analysis of each 24-hr period is conducted by counting three transects at 400 magnification. The data are summed to provide an average weekly pollen count.
