Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this site in Port MacDonnell is a mix of woodland and open grassland, plus a good deal of open water. Woodland on all sides makes trees an important local pollen source. Grasses and weeds such as plantain round out the local mix. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Then come the grasses, strongest in early summer and fading by late summer. The season closes with plantain from mid-spring into early fall. Day to day, sunshine and wind lift the counts, while a spell of rain can bring them down sharply.
