Fern spore dispersal: A methodological review and experimental field study
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.Abstract Spore dispersal is one of the most important but perhaps the least investigated and understood processes in determining the geographical distribution of fern species. After a methodological review of the aerobiology of fern spores, we examined the impact of spore characteristics and meteorological factors on their airborne dispersal.

How to do a clinical trial? Recommendations from the aerobiological point of view
World Allergy Organization Journal, 2019 Background: Allergy immunotherapy is still the only treatment of pollen allergy, providing a long-term effect. Clinical trials with pollen allergic patients are in need of validated, high quality pollen data and forecasts in order to grant comparability ...

TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF POACEAE POLLEN IN AREAS OF SOUTHERN UNITED KINGDOM, SPAIN AND PORTUGAL [PDF]
, 2013 Overall, longer Poaceae pollen seasons coincided with earlier pollen season start dates. Winter rainfall noticeably affects the intensity of Poaceae pollen seasons in Mediterranean areas, but this was not as important in Worcester.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract The atmosphere may constitute the Earth's largest microbial ecosystem, yet it remains the least understood. While microorganisms can persist and may even thrive in the polyextremes of the Earth's atmosphere, it is still unknown whether the atmosphere sustains an active microbial community.
