In Co´rdoba city, high airborne Quercus pollen counts are detected during spring despite the low presence of Quercus populations in the Guadalquivir Valley, where this city is located. This study sought to clarify and identify the potential origin of the different Quercus peaks detected in this city and chart the possible relationship between Quercus pollen curves and air-mass movements. For this purpose, an integrated study of daily and intra-diurnal Quercus pollen counts and back-trajectory analysis was performed over the March–June period of the years 2006–2008. The application of cluster techniques to back trajectory enabled the identiﬁcation of six different types of air-mass movement. As a function of frequency, two different air-mass groups were identi- ﬁed: the main group comprised Local, Slower Northwest and Mediterranean movements, characterised by higher frequencies; a second group consisting of North, Faster Northwest and Southwest trajectories occurred less frequently over the study period. Although a signiﬁcant correlation was observed between Quercus airborne pollen counts recorded in Co´rdoba city and the inﬂuence of the Mediterranean air-mass movements, the strongest positive correlation was found between North and Northwest air-mass movements and daily Quercus pollen counts. These results would conﬁrm both that the major Quercus pollen sources are located at different distances north of the city and a new pollen source is also located south of the province, beyond the Guadalquivir valley, related to the arrival of Mediterranean air masses. The northern source appears to be linked to regional transport and the southern source to long-range transport.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carinanos, P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Galan, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alcazar, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dominguez, E.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Airborne pollen records and status of the anemophilous flora in arid areas of the Iberian Peninsula</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JOURNAL OF ARID ENVIRONMENTS</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aerobiology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Airborne pollen records</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arid areas</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytogeography</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pollen spectrum</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">74</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1102 - 1105</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This paper reports on the relationship between the airborne pollen spectrum and the status of anemophilous flora in the south-eastern Iberian Peninsula. Variations in pollen counts with respect to data for a previous sampling period were also examined. The key finding was that the spectrum contained pollen from the most characteristic local species, such as xerophytes adapted to arid conditions, ruderal and nitrophilous species, sclerophyllous Mediterranean pine and holm-oak forest and vegetation in dry watercourses. The main variations with respect to earlier data were attributable to changes in land use, with increasing production of certain crops and a growing trend towards ecological agriculture, the introduction of allochthonous species and the recovery of local flora in dry watercourses.

Plant phenology is seen as one of the most important bio-indicators, since trends can provide considerable temporal and spatial information regarding ongoing changes. Analyses performed at six sites in southern Spain from 1986 to the present have focused on vegetative and overall reproductive phenology in Olea europaea L., and Vitis vinifera L. and in various species of Quercus spp. and Poaceae. Early results suggest that trends in ﬂowering patterns derived from ﬁeld phenological observations were similar to trends in aerobiological data for most study species, and indicate a trend towards earlier foliation, ﬂowering and fruit ripening. This advance is more evident in arboreal than in herbaceous species. Statistical analysis showed temperature increase was the major factor affecting earlier foliation, ﬂowering and fruit ripening, as well as prompting delayed leaf fall. Herbaceous species were more affected than trees by changes in rainfall records</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">García-Mozo, H.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chuine, I.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aira, M.

The growing degree days method, which assumes the daily temperature varies as a sine wave, was used for heat accumulation calculations. Threshold temperatures between 4 and 12 ◦ C were chosen using linear regression equations forced through the origin and their root mean square error (RMSE) of predicted against the observed dates for each observation site. Above the threshold, the average growing degree days (up to 1999) for the studied years was taken as the predictor value. Results showed a relationship between the selected threshold and elevation and a stronger and statistically signiﬁcant correlation between threshold and yearly mean temperature, for each site. Regression analysis indicated that the selected threshold and the calculated heat accumulation were optimum for most of the localities. The validity of the results was tested using the meteorological data for the year 2000 as independent variable and this conﬁrmed that there were only a few days difference between the predicted and observed day of the ﬁrst pollen release for most of the studied localities</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
