Abstract

Model maps were constructed for estimating pollen capacity of Hungarian forests, based on meteorological pollen monitoring and forestry database information. Model maps are continuously updated and directly linked to the National Forest Database (NÉBIH Forestry Directorate) which are publicly available at NÉBIH website. Based on the model maps the flowering period of tree species can be forecasted in different region of Hungary. Data and information of the model maps can be used for annual seed crop prognoses and indirectly for planning of forest regenerations and silvicultural works. Model maps also provide an opportunity for more conscious planning of bee keeping and preparation of public health measures taken for pollen sensitivity.

Keywords: stock types, national forestry database, pollen concentration, pollen data, pollen sensitivity, crop estimation, bee-keeping
