The Distribution of Olea europaea L. Pollen in the Atmospheres of Aydın, Manisa and Muğla

Abstract

In this study, the distribution of Olea europaea L. pollens in the atmospheres of Aydın, Manisa and Muğla, where the olive trees are widespreated were investigated. Accordance with the volumetric method, the annual changes of pollen from this taxon and the effect of meteorological factors on the pollen season were investigated between 2014-2016. Aydın is the province with the highest number of olive pollen in the atmosphere during two years study period. Olive pollen in this city accounted for 20.92% of all pollens recorded in the atmosphere and ranked first among the dominant taxa. However in Manisa and Muğla olive pollen ranked third with 15.55% and 7.16% respectively. Highest olive pollen counts were dedected in May in all regions but it was observed that the main pollen seasons differed by the effects of meteorological changes between the provinces and the years. On the other hand daily pollen counts belonging to this taxon were correlated with the meteorological parameters and significant results were determined between daily pollen count and daily average temperature (^°C), total precipitation (mm) and daily average relative humidity (%) according to the Spearman correlation test (p<0.01, p<0.05).

Olea europaea L. Polenlerinin Aydın, Manisa ve Muğla Atmosferindeki Dağılımları

Abstract

Bu çalışmada zeytin ağaçlarının geniş yayılış gösterdiği Aydın, Manisa ve Muğla atmosferlerindeki Olea europaea L. polenlerinin dağılımları incelenmiştir. Volumetrik yöntem ile 2014-2016 yılları arasında gerçekleştirilen çalışmada bu taksona ait polenlerin yıllık değişimleri ve polen sezonu üzerinde meteorolojik faktörlerin etkisi incelendi. İki yıllık çalışma süresince zeytin polenlerine en fazla rastlanan ilin Aydın olduğu görüldü. Bu şehirde zeytin polenlerinin atmosferde kaydedilen tüm polenlerin %20.92’sini oluşturduğu ve baskın taksonlar içerisinde ilk sırada yer aldığı belirlendi. Bununla beraber, zeytin polenleri Manisa ve Muğla’da sırasıyla %15.55 ve %7.16 ile üçüncü sırada yer aldı. Bu bitkinin polenleri tüm bölgelerde en fazla Mayıs ayında kaydedildi, ancak esas polen dönemlerinin çalışılan iller ve yıllar arasındaki meteorolojik değişimlerin etkisiyle farklılıklar gösterdiği görüldü. Diğer taraftan bu taksona ait günlük polen sayıları, meteorolojik faktörlerle korale edildi ve günlük ortalama sıcaklık (^oC), günlük toplam yağış (mm) ve günlük ortalama nisbi nem (%) ile günlük polen sayıları arasında Spearman korelasyon testine göre anlamlı sonuçlar bulundu (p<0.01, p<0.05).
