AbstractPhenological shifts due to climate change have been extensively studied in plants and animals. Yet, the responses of fungal spores—crucial organisms that play important roles in ecosystems and act as airborne allergens—remain understudied. This knowledge gap in global change biology hinders our understanding of its ecological and public health implications.

AbstractAirborne pollen triggers allergic reactions which result in public health consequences. A better understanding of flowering and pollen phenology could improve airborne pollen predictions and reduce pollen exposure. Data on the timing of flowering and pollen release are needed to improve models of airborne pollen concentrations, but existing in-situ data collection efforts are expensive and spatially sparse.
