Figure 6. API trends by environment type.

Figure 6

Boxplots show the proportional annual change of yearly pollen sums for different environments. Mann-Whitney tests show a significant increase (median different from zero, Inline graphic) of airborne pollen in urban environments. The notches are calculated as Inline graphic and the height of each boxplot is related to sample size. On the right, the percentages of significant trends are indicated for each type of environment (of which the percentages of positive trends are given in parentheses).
