摘要
Records of the start of Birch pollen seasons monitored at three sites in the UK for periods of up to forty two years indicate a recent trend for the pollen seasons to begin earlier. This trend shows a close relationship to an increase in cumulative temperatures in the months of January, February and March recorded near each of the sites during the study period.
