Burkard 7 Day Recording Volumetric Spore Sampler
STANDARD OF REFERENCE Built and developed with the assistance of scientists closely associated with problems relating to airborne particles such as fungus spores and pollens, the sampler has proved to be a standard of reference throughout the world. Although the instrument compares closely to the trap described by Hirst in 1952 (Ann app. Biol 39 pp. 257-265) its performance has been enhanced by...
متن کاملAn evaluation of two methods used for microscopic analysis of airborne fungal spore concentrations from the Burkard Spore Trap
The Burkard Volumetric Spore Trap is a common and efficient instrument used to collect outdoor air samples. In North America, two slide counting methods have been widely used by aerobiologists: the single longitudinal traverse method and the twelve transverse traverse method. The purpose of this study was to compare the two counting methods by assessing fungal spore concentrations of ascospores...
متن کاملComparison of pollen sampling with a Burkard Spore Trap and a Tauber Trap in a warm temperate climate
Aerobiological data have been widely used by many scientists, including those that study modern ̄ ora as well as those wishing to reconstruct past vegetational associations. Burkard (Hirst-type) volumetric spore traps are widely used instruments for studying airborne pollen, while Tauber traps are typically used to analyze pollen deposition. The present study compared the pollen collected by the...
متن کاملPreliminary studies on the effect of the Burkard alternate orifice on airborne fungal spore concentrations
The Burkard 7-day spore trap with standard orifice is commonly used by researchers in sampling outdoor air. The alternate orifice is reported to have higher efficiency in collecting small airborne fungal spores; however, no previous studies compared Burkard samplers with different orifices. This study was conducted to study the effect of the alternate orifice on the concentration of airborne fu...
متن کاملGamma, Gaussian and logistic distribution models for airborne pollen grains and fungal spore season dynamics
The characteristics of a pollen season, such as timing and magnitude, depend on a number of factors such as the biology of the plant and environmental conditions. The main aim of this study was to develop mathematical models that explain dynamics in atmospheric concentrations of pollen and fungal spores recorded in Rzeszów (SE Poland) in 2000-2002. Plant taxa with different characteristics in t...
