Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Otsego Lake Township is surrounded mainly by woodland, which covers almost 80% of the nearby area, with some open grassland. With a stream or river close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. Around here, the surrounding woods make trees an important source. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in late spring. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early summer and easing off by late summer. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. In warm, humid weather through summer, mold spores add to the mix, especially after rain. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around freezing, pollen levels are low again.
