Overview

Matt Smith is affiliated with the University of Worcester in the United Kingdom and has a research focus spanning Environmental Science, Medicine, and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Their work predominantly addresses topics related to allergic rhinitis and sensitization, lichen and fungal ecology, indoor air quality and microbial exposure, as well as tree-ring climate responses, air quality and health impacts, forest insect ecology and management, and botany and plant ecology studies.

Smith's publication record highlights research contributions in a range of scientific journals with frequent publications appearing in Aerobiologia, Grana, The Science of The Total Environment, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, and Global Change Biology. These venues host studies connected to environmental monitoring, bioaerosol dynamics, and climate impacts on biological systems.

Recent papers authored or coauthored by Smith include:

  • Effects of future climate change on birch abundance and their pollen load, 2021, Global Change Biology
  • Consequences of climate change on airborne pollen in Bavaria, Central Europe, 2021, Regional Environmental Change
  • Recent developments in monitoring and modelling airborne pollen, a review, 2020, Grana
  • Bioaerosols on the atmospheric super highway: An example of long distance transport of Alternaria spores from the Pannonian Plain to Poland, 2022, The Science of The Total Environment
  • Particle size distribution of the major Alternaria alternata allergen, Alt a 1, derived from airborne spores and subspore fragments, 2020, Fungal Biology

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Smith include:

  • Łukasz Grewling
  • Branko Šikoparija
  • Jesús Rojo
  • José María Maya-Manzano
  • Athanasios Damialis

Smith's work crosses disciplinary boundaries, integrating aspects of immunology and allergy, health toxicology and mutagenesis, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, plant science, and atmospheric science.
