Ambrosia in Croatia-present situation

According to the „Inventory and Monitoring Protocol-IAS Programme“ we have started with preliminary actions against IAS plants in Croatia. As the first Survey Level we prepared: national standards, preliminary list of IAS plants and the module „Allochthonous plants“, specially developed and incorporated in the Flora Croatica Database - FCD as a publicly accessible web service. As there is no organised efforts in plant IAS monitoring on a national level, we have started with several case studies on invansive alien plants in both continental and mediterranean areas of Croatia. Simultaneously, airborne pollen monitoring is going on throught Croatia. Those facts make possible data comparation, both about plants distribution and pollen concentrations at the same area. Good sample is the biggest and capital city of Croatia-city of Zagreb for which we have data about ragweed distribution and its airborne pollen. Therefore the aim of the present study was to represent: presence of Ambrosia taxa in Croatia ; preliminary ragweed inventory for Croatia and the city of Zagreb and airborne ragweed pollen dana (2002-2008) for the city of Zagreb.
