These figures cover everything within 10 km of the city center, a wider area than the report above, because forest is usually lost at a city's edges.

Is it safe to exercise outside in Nianbo today?

At AQI 58 (Moderate): fine for most people; unusually sensitive people should take long or hard exercise easier. Windows: fine to open; close them if you are sensitive to pollution. Masks: not needed for most people. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.

How much forest has the area around Nianbo lost since 2001?

There was almost no forest around Nianbo in 2000, so there has been almost nothing to lose since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here.

What is the tree count in Nianbo?

Nianbo has an estimated 38,139 trees across the 12.41 km² of land measured — 12.3% tree cover, 18 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.

How many more trees does Nianbo need?

Nianbo needs roughly 54,883 more trees to close a 18-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 1,207 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.

How are Nianbo's air quality and tree cover measured?

Air quality comes from ground monitoring stations via OpenAQ where one reports nearby, and otherwise, as here, from the Open-Meteo / CAMS model, which may differ from street-level monitors. Tree cover is measured from Sentinel-2 L2A (ESA Copernicus) via Earth Search satellite imagery at 10 m detail across a 2 km radius around Ledu District; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
