Mammoth Dunes' Wisconsin glacial sand barrens setting features jack pine, native prairie grasses, and scrub oak as the main pollen sources across the expansive duneland course, with exposure varying between the open sandy fairways and the more vegetated sections. Surrounding Wisconsin farmland contributes substantial grass and crop pollen, while the flat, open glacial landscape allows pollen to disperse widely and mugwort extends exposure into September throughout.

Does pollen in Madison 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 Madison 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 Madison, 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.
