When environmental conditions deteriorate, trees become stressed. They produce increased amounts of pollen and seeds. This is an attempt to seize what may be their last chance to pass on their genetic material. Not a good sign, then. The technical term for this is emergency fructification. Here, pollen and bud scales gather on the surface of a lake and are slowly moved by the wind.
