TLDR
In this paper, the authors used the growing degree days method, which assumes the daily temperature varies as a sine wave, to calculate the mean heat accumulation for predicting the Quercus pollination start in different climatic areas.About:

Heat requirement for the onset of the Olea europaea L. pollen season in several sites in Andalusia and the effect of the expected future climate change
Carmen Galán,Herminia García-Mozo,L. Vázquez,L. Ruiz,C. Díaz de la Guardia,María del Mar Trigo +5 more
TL;DR: The theoretical impact of the predicted climatic warming on the olive’s flowering phenology at the end of the century is proposed by applying Regional Climate Model data and a general advance, from 1 to 3 weeks could be expected, although this advance will be more pronounced in mid-altitude inland areas.

Impact of pollen on human health: More than allergen carriers?
Claudia Traidl-Hoffmann,A. Kasche,Annette Menzel,Thilo Jakob,Martina Thiel,Johannes Ring,Heidrun Behrendt +6 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that pollen do not only induce allergy and thus have a much broader impact on human health, and this review is an attempt to favour this holistic view of pollen and their impact onhuman health.

TL;DR: Results indicate that under a doubled CO(2) scenario at the end of the 21st century Quercus pollination season could start on average one month earlier and airborne pollen concentrations will increase by 50 % with respect to current levels, with higher values in Mediterranean inland areas.

Vulnerability of water resources, vegetation productivity and soil erosion to climate change in Mediterranean watersheds
TL;DR: In this paper, the SWAT watershed model was applied to 18 large watersheds in two contrasting regions of Portugal, one humid and one semi-arid; incremental changes to climate variables were simulated using a stochastic weather generator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenological trends in southern Spain: A response to climate change
TL;DR: The impact of climate change, and particularly of climate warming, is being tracked in many physical and biological systems as mentioned in this paper, since trends can provide considerable temporal and spatial information regarding ongoing changes.

An automatic volumetric spore trap
TL;DR: Estimates of spore content of the air can be made, with higher efficiency than by previous traps, at different times of day and thus be more closely correlated with variations in weather.

Date of budburst of fifteen tree species in Britain following climatic warming
TL;DR: Climatic warming did not markedly shift the date of budburst of any group of species at Edinburgh, so they flushed in warmer conditions and failed to exploit the earlier springs, however, at Braemar, the species with small thermal time and chilling requirements, like C. monogyna, flushed much earlier following climatic warming.
