The datafile contains the composition and abundance of airborne pollen in the suburb of Casuarina, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. The data was collected for the period between March 2004 to November 2005 as part of a large research program looking at atmospheric particles and human health (see Stevenson et al., 2007).

This dataset consists of counts for multiple plant species obtained from the Ethabuka Station and Carlo Reserve in the Simpson Desert, Australia, from 2004-2013 by the Desert Ecology Research Group (DERG) in conjunction with LTERN. It also consists rainfall data obtained from 2004-2012. These datasets were used to perform a Dynamic Factor Analyses for the manuscript, "Life form explains consistent temporal trends across species: the application of dynamic factor analysis".
