A Study on the Airborne Pollen Calender in Mt. Kwanak

冠岳山에 있어서 空中에 飛散하는 花紛層에 關한 硏究

The airborne pollens were investigated by Durhan's pollen trap in Mt. Kwanak from March 1, 1984 to February 28, 1985. The observed airborn pollens were identified 22 families and 49 genera, which were divided into 27 tree pollens. Most airborne pollens were found from late-March to late-September and a few from early-November to late-February, 1985. The first observed pollen of the year was Alnus on March 5 and the last was Artemisia on Decomber 19, 1984. The maximum amount of daily airborne pollens was 823 grains/cm2 on May 16. Peak day and the maximum amount of major airborne pollens were as follows; 166 grains/cm2/day of Alnus pollen on April 4, 38 gr. of Populus on April. 13, 22 gr. of Quercus on May 10, 791 gr. of Pinus on May 26, 139 gr. on May 26 and 104 gr. of Graminae on September 6, 24 gr. of Ambrosia on Sep. 10 and 236 gr. on May 26 and 104 gr. of Graminae on September 6, 24 gr. of Ambrosia airborne pollen for one year was 12,733 grains/cm2 which were composed of 61% tree pollens and 39% herb ones. Decreasing order of pollen counts was Pinus, Alnus, Quercus and Populus in trees, and Graiminae, Artemisia and Ambrosia in herbs. Most of the airborn pollens were deposited in the day-time and a few at night, the maximum at 2∼4p.m.and the mininum at 8∼10 p.m.
