A modern pollen rain study along an altitudinal gradient in the Bale Mountains National Park (Ethiopia, East Africa) was carried out from 1580 m a.s.l. to 4110 m a.s.l. The contents of seven artificial pollen traps from seven plant communities corresponding to different altitudinal belts were investigated. Pollen spectra reflect dominant taxa of plant communities in most cases. However, the pollen of some widespread plants was underrepresented in the spectra due to low pollen production, flowering rhythms, and local features of the vegetation cover. Long-distance pollen transport was noted in all plant communities, but it was most pronounced in open communities.

Представлены результаты изучения современного пыльцевого дождя вдоль высотного градиента (1580-4110 м н.у.м.) в национальном парке горы Бале (Эфиопия, Восточная Африка). Исследовано содержимое семи искусственных пыльцевых ловушек из семи растительных сообществ, соответствующих разным высотным поясам. Показано, что в большинстве случаев пыльцевые спектры отражают доминантные таксоны растительных сообществ. Однако из-за низкой пыльцевой продукции, ритмики цветения и локальных особенностей растительного покрова пыльца некоторых широко распространенных растений может быть плохо представлена в спектрах. Дальний занос пыльцы отмечен во всех растительных сообществах, однако наиболее он выражен в открытых сообществах.
