How to connect?

Merseburg's green spaces rely mainly on ash, birch, and maple for most of the local tree pollen, with noticeably different exposure between parks and the built-up core. Farmland across the Saxony-Anhalt and river valley woodland nearby contribute additional tree and grass pollen, while flat terrain offers limited shelter from regional winds.

Does pollen in Merseburg come from nearby or far away?

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Are pollen levels in Merseburg based on measurements or forecasts?

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Merseburg, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
