Barneveld's Veluwe woodland fringe and the Barneveldse Beek corridor feature oak, birch, and pine as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between the wooded Veluwe edge and the more built-up town centre. The Veluwe heathland and woodland are a particularly significant local pollen source, while surrounding Gelderland farmland contributes substantial grass pollen under prevailing westerly winds.

Does pollen in Barneveld 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 Barneveld 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 Barneveld, 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.
