Journal ArticleDOI
Trophic level asynchrony in rates of phenological change for marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments
Stephen J. Thackeray,Tim H. Sparks,Morten Frederiksen,Sarah J. Burthe,P. J. Bacon,James R. Bell,Marc S. Botham,Tom Brereton,Paul W. Bright,Laurence Carvalho,Tim H. Clutton-Brock,Alistair Dawson,Martin Edwards,J. Malcolm Elliott,Richard Harrington,David G. Johns,Ian D. Jones,James T. Jones,David I. Leech,David B. Roy,W. Andy Scott,Matt Smith,Richard J. Smithers,Ian J. Winfield,Sarah Wanless +24 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a standardized assessment of 25 532 rates of phenological change for 726 UK terrestrial, freshwater and marine taxa and trophic levels and show that the majority of spring and summer events have advanced, and more rapidly than previously documented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollen monitoring: minimum requirements and reproducibility of analysis
Carmen Galán,Matt Smith,Michel Thibaudon,Giuseppe Frenguelli,Jose Oteros,Regula Gehrig,U. Berger,Bernard Clot,Rui Brandão +8 more
TL;DR: An updated Minimum Requirements Report for pollen monitoring is formulated and the proposed Minimum Recommendations will help to improve the quality of scientific work, particularly for those who are considering the setting up of new monitoring sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Grewling,Adela Montserrat Gutiérrez Bustillo,Margrét Hallsdóttir,Marie-Claire Kockhans-Bieda,Concepción De Linares,Dorota Myszkowska,Anna Páldy,Adriana Sanchez,Matt Smith,Michel Thibaudon,Alessandro Travaglini,A. Uruska,Rosa María Valencia-Barrera,Despoina Vokou,Reinhard Wachter,Letty A. de Weger,Annette Menzel +27 more
TL;DR: An increasing trend in the yearly amount of airborne pollen for many taxa in Europe is revealed, which is more pronounced in urban than semi-rural/rural areas, and it is suggested the anthropogenic rise of atmospheric CO levels may be influential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recommended terminology for aerobiological studies
Carmen Galán,Annalisa Ariatti,Maira Bonini,Bernard Clot,Benoît Crouzy,Åslög Dahl,Delia Fernández-González,Giuseppe Frenguelli,Regula Gehrig,Scott A. Isard,Estelle Levetin,De-Wei Li,Paolo Mandrioli,Christine A. Rogers,Michel Thibaudon,I. Sauliene,Carsten Ambelas Skjøth,Matt Smith,Mikhail Sofiev +18 more
TL;DR: Aerobiology is an interdisciplinary science where researchers with different backgrounds are involved in different topics related to microorganism, airborne biological particles, e.g. pollen and spores, and phenology, but concepts, words or expressions used in aerobiology are however frequently misused.
Journal ArticleDOI
Common ragweed: a threat to environmental health in Europe.
TL;DR: This review paper examines existing knowledge about ragweed ecology, distribution and flowering phenology and the environmental health risk that this noxious plant poses in Europe and state of the art methods for modelling atmospheric concentrations of this important aeroallergen.
