The datafile contains the composition and abundance of airborne pollen in the suburb of Rocklea, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The data was collected for the period between June 1994 to May 1999 as part of a research program that assessed pollen bioaerosols and relationships with meteorological parameters (Green et al., 2002). This forms part of a study of the Australian Aerobiology working group (Haberle, Bowman, Newnham, Johnston, Beggs, Buters, Campbell, Erbas, Godwin, Green, Heute, Jaggard, Medek, Murray, Newbiggin, Thibaudon, Vicendese, Williamson, Davies “The macroecology of airborne pollen in Australian and New Zealand urban areas”).
