Phl P 1, Phlp 5, and Phl p 11 are major <i>P. pratense</i>-pollen allergens with demonstrated basophil activity and skin test reactivity. Little is known about <i>P. pratense</i> pollen adaptive variations in different climatic regions and pollen-associated microbial diversity. In this study, we collected <i>P. pratense</i>-pollen and soils in the spring season 2022. Samples were collected from three climatic regions in Pakistan (R1, R2 and R3) with differences in mean monthly air temperature, mean monthly precipitation and elevation. The morphology of pollen was observed by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), biochemical fingerprint analysis, and composition of pollen were investigated by fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The pollen-associated bacterial populations were identified through a Biolog GEN III microplate system. The pollen water-soluble proteins were isolated and stabilized in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) and tested for allergenicity responses through dot blots and western blots analysis. The morphology study found difference in pollen biochemical composition. Biolog identified <i>Brevibacterium epidermidis</i> and <i>Pantoea agglomerans</i> from <i>P. pratense</i> pollen. Protein extract quantification and sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gel found decreased protein expression in R1 region pollen compared to R2 and R3 region pollen. Allergenicity studies found differential expression of beta-expansin and profilin allergens in pollen obtained from the three regions. Beta-expansin and profilin were suppressed in R1 pollen and expressed in compared to R2 and R3 pollen. This is the first study to identify <i>B. epidermidis</i> and <i>P. agglomerans</i> growth on <i>P. pratense</i> pollen. Variable allergen expression in <i>P. pratense</i> pollen has also been observed in different regions. Soil pH, an increase in mean monthly temperature and a decrease in mean monthly precipitation correlated with pollen biochemical composition, and reduced beta-expansin and profilin expression involved in pollen growth and development. The findings of this research are unique, which enhances basic knowledge and understanding of <i>P. pratense</i>-pollen associated microbiota and climate change impacts on the pollen allergen expression.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":588,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biometeorology","volume":"68 11","pages":"2227 - 2240"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141854473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The environmental factors that caused these responses were examined using 2 years of eddy covariance data from a winter-wheat cropland in northern China. The GPP decreased significantly along with the fDIF in a nonlinear pattern, with a determination coefficient of 0.91. Changes in fDIF altered total photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), diffuse PAR, T<sub>a</sub> and VPD. The variations in GPP with fDIF in both fDIF change Phase I (fDIF < 0.65) and Phase II (fDIF > 0.65) resulted from the combined effects of multiple environmental factors. Because the driving factors were closely correlated, a path analysis was used to distinguish their respective contribution to the GPP response to fDIF by integrating path coefficients. In Phases I and II, the decreased responses of GPP to fDIF were mainly caused by total PAR and diffuse PAR, respectively, which contributed approximately 49% and 37% to GPP variations, respectively.

Statistical analysis indicates that a rise of 10 μg/m3 in NO<sub>2</sub> concentration is linked to a 0.17% increase in daily MECs for epileptic seizures (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.02%, 0.32%).

In Tétouan, sampling was carried out using a volumetric spore trap of the Burkard Hirst type. The relationships between the PSsd, peak dates and meteorological parameters were determined using correlation analysis. The models were constructed using multiple regression analysis with data from 2008 to 2019 and tested on data from 2022. The PSsd was especially significantly influenced by minimum temperature during winter and precipitation in the autumn of the previous year. The peak dates were significantly correlated with precipitation in January, March and April, but not with temperature. Three models were obtained for each of the season’s parameters; the most accurate model for the PSsd explained a variability of 61% and includes as main predictors rainfall from the autumn of the previous year and the mean daily average temperature from 23 February to 8 March. The two most efficient peak dates models included precipitation in January and April as the main predictor variables, and explained greater variability (87 and 88%). Precipitation in autumn and the mean daily and the sum of minimum temperature in winter, showed significant decreasing tendencies. However, the PSsd trend delay was not statistically significant.

Based on survey data and field experiments, this study designed 30 scenarios and employed ENVI-met model (version 5.0.3) to quantify the effect of street aspect ratio (H/W: H is building height and W is street width) and tree spacing (TS) on pedestrian thermal comfort in two differently oriented streets (north–south and east–west) in Taiyuan, China. Results showed that H/W ratio and TS significantly influenced the street thermal comfort mainly owing to shading. H/W ratio played a pivotal role in reducing mean radiant temperature (Tmrt) and physiological equivalent temperature (PET), and was negatively correlated with Tmrt and PET. Compared to no-tree scenarios, street trees significantly improved thermal comfort (mean reductions of Tmrt and PET were 12.74℃ and 5.66℃, respectively), and PET and Tmrt were significantly negatively correlated with TS. The improvement effect of street trees on Tmrt and PET in east–west oriented street was better than north–south oriented street.

The problem of regional climate threat was evaluated with urban heat island characterization. Moran’s I clustering identified nearly 12% of the study area to be under considerable heat stress during summer days. Multiple techniques, such as mapping local climate zones, segment mean shift-based roof extraction, vegetation index computation, solar azimuth-based green wall site selection, etc., were applied to formulate solutions and provide an integrated method for city-level environment enhancement. A considerable area was identified as most suitable for green roof cover, and it was also computed that the transition towards green roof at only these locations may bring down the maximum heat island intensity by 0.74 °C. Additionally, solar zenith, illumination effect, and building height information were combined to create a distinct method where vertical plantation would flourish exceptionally.
