描述空气中花粉浓度对于支持过敏和哮喘管理至关重要;然而，花粉监测是劳动密集型的，并且在美国，地理位置有限。美国国家物候学网络（USA-NPN）吸引了数千名志愿者观察员，定期记录植物的发育和繁殖状况。USA-NPN平台Nature's Notebook提供的花和花粉锥状态报告有可能通过提供来自全国各地的实时、空间明确的信息来帮助解决花粉监测方面的差距。在这项研究中，我们评估了花和花粉锥状态的观察是否有助于自然笔记本可以作为空气中花粉浓度的有效代理。我们比较了每日花粉浓度从36个国家过敏局（NAB）站在美国与开花和花粉锥状态观察收集在200公里内的每个NAB站在每年，2009-2021年，15个常见的树木类群使用斯皮尔曼的相关性。在350个比较中，58%的相关性是显著的（p< 0.05）。比较可以在最大数量的站点为Acer和Quercus。Quercus表现出相对较高比例的测试与显着的协议（中位数ρ= 0.49）。核桃表现出最强的整体一致性之间的两个数据集（中位数ρ= 0.79），虽然比较只在少数网站。对于特定的类群，志愿者贡献的开花状态观察表明，有希望表明空气中的花粉浓度的季节性模式。通过正式的观测活动，可以大大增加观测的数量，从而提高它们对花粉警报的支持作用。
Characterizing airborne pollen concentrations is crucial for supporting allergy and asthma management; however, pollen monitoring is labor intensive and, in the USA, geographically limited. The USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN) engages thousands of volunteer observers in regularly documenting the developmental and reproductive status of plants. The reports of flower and pollen cone status contributed to the USA-NPN’s platform,Nature’s Notebook, have the potential to help address gaps in pollen monitoring by providing real-time, spatially explicit information from across the country. In this study, we assessed whether observations of flower and pollen cone status contributed toNature’s Notebookcan serve as effective proxies for airborne pollen concentrations. We compared daily pollen concentrations from 36 National Allergy Bureau (NAB) stations in the USA with flowering and pollen cone status observations collected within 200 km of each NAB station in each year, 2009–2021, for 15 common tree taxa using Spearman’s correlations. Of 350 comparisons, 58% of correlations were significant (p< 0.05). Comparisons could be made at the largest numbers of sites forAcerandQuercus.Quercusdemonstrated a comparatively high proportion of tests with significant agreement (medianρ= 0.49).Juglansdemonstrated the strongest overall coherence between the two datasets (medianρ= 0.79), though comparisons were made at only a small number of sites. For particular taxa, volunteer-contributed flowering status observations demonstrate promise to indicate seasonal patterns in airborne pollen concentrations. The quantity of observations, and therefore, their utility for supporting pollen alerts, could be substantially increased through a formal observation campaign.
