Abstract:

The results of the study of pollen emission into the atmosphere of 24 anemophilic plant species and 3 entomophilic plant species for which optional anemophilia is possible are given. The percentage of clusters of two or more pollen grains of the total number of pollen particles entering the atmosphere is estimated. It is shown that such clusters were formed in significant quantities in all series of experiments. The percentage of pollen clusters attained ~ 71% of the total number of pollen particles, and of pollen grains in the clusters, ~ 94% of the total number of pollen grains.

Keywords:

pollen, anemophilic plant, atmospheric aerosol, cluster
