oak, birch, and maple make up the bulk of tree pollen sources across Osnabrück's parks and gardens, though the built-up centre sees noticeably less. Lower Saxon farmland and ridge-line beech stands on the town's outskirts add to local tree and grass pollen, while valley settings can concentrate pollen under calm, still air.

Does pollen in Osnabrück 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 Osnabrück 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 Osnabrück, 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.
