Pollination

Since 2017 we have been carrying out aerobiological pollen measurements on the KU's canteen roof using a volumetric pollen trap. We aim to characterize the pollen spectrum for the Eichstätt region for the first time. This pollen trap complements our another gravimetric pollen trap installed at the KU weather station. In addition, pollen count data are collected in Ingolstadt, Kösching and in the floodplain forest near Neuburg an der Donau as part of other projects

A regional pollen flight calendar offers the possibility to collect information on pollen flight of important allergenic plant species. Usually, averaged values of several years are displayed.
