Abstract

This work analyses the behaviour of Poaceae pollen during a 3-year sampling period (1993–1995) in the city of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). This taxon is shown to be one of the most abundant in the atmosphere, with representation percentages greater than or equal to 20\% of total pollen registered during the said period. Its main pollination period is centred on the months of June and July, with slight modifications in the beginning and finalization dates of the years 1993 and 1994 and a significantly earlier beginning in the year 1995. Overall results show that its presence may be considered significant from the end of May to the first days of August. The differences in Poaceae pollen representation are related to variations in temperature, precipitation and hours of sunshine.
