Reconstruction of historical forest cover on a 1° grid in central and southeast Europe from AD 1800 to 2000
The natural vegetation has been substantially changed over the last millenium, especially from forest to agricultural areas in Europe. To study the effects of deforestation on carbon and climate system, it is essential to construct spatially precise maps in forest cover. The current representative historical forest data sets are either derivatives of agricultural datasets or are produced based on the deforestation-population relationship. Almost …
Reconstruction of cropland cover using historical literature in Northern China, Sui Dynasty, AD 609
Reconstruction of historical cropland cover is not only essential for studying agricultural development in historical periods, but also provides the basic data for long-term global and climatic change simulations. However, reconstructing the amount and spatial distribution of cropland prior to the past millennium remains challenging because of incomplete data and the suitability of the allocation method. Based on the household census and cropland…

The Relationship between Temperature Changes and Peacemaking Events between Farming and Nomadic Groups in Northern China over the Past 2000 Years
Climate change affects relationships between regions. The sequence of peacemaking events between farming and nomadic groups in northern China from the Western Han to the Qing dynasty was constructed based on historical documents. We analyzed the impacts of climate change on ethnic relationships using war and temperature sequence data from previous studies. The main results are as follows: 1) There were 504 peacemaking events between farming and n…
Reconstructing the spatiotemporal distribution of polders in modern Dongting Plain, Hunan Province
Coincidence Analysis of the Cropland Distribution of Multi-Sets of Global Land Cover Products
Modern global cropland products have been widely used to assess the impact of land use and cover change (LUCC) on carbon budgets, climate change, terrestrial ecosystems, etc. However, each product has its own uncertainty, and inconsistencies exist among different products. Understanding the reliability of these datasets is essential for knowing the uncertainties that exist in the study of global change impact forced by cropland reclamation. In th…
Reconstruction of cropland cover using historical literature and settlement relics in farming areas of Shangjing Dao during the Liao Dynasty, China, around 1100 AD
To improve the accuracy of historical cropland data, we reconstructed cropland cover in the northern China’s farming–pastoral zone during the Liao dynasty using historical literature and settlement relics. We first reconstructed the total cropland area using historical household data based on the cropland area per household. Next, we allocated the cropland area into 5′ grid cells weighted by settlement density to generate a cropland data. Our mai…
Loss of wetlands due to the expansion of polder in the Dongting Plain, China, AD 1368–1980
The Dongting Plain is an area characterized by wetland losses because of long-term polder construction. The study of historical polder expansion provides an opportunity to better understand the loss of wetlands covered by polders. To reconstruct the polder expansion over time, the polder patches extracted though remote sensing were marked with the names obtained from maps and the times of construction obtained from local gazetteers, and shown in …
Socio-Environmental Dynamics along the Historical Silk Road
This open-access book discusses socio-environmental interactions in the middle to late Holocene, covering areas along the ancient Silk Road regions. It offers insights from various disciplinary perspectives, such as archaeology, paleoclimatology, historical geography, agriculture, art, and literacy
Complexity of factors influencing the spatiotemporal distribution of archaeological settlements in northeast China over the past millennium
Relic archeological settlement is used to indicate the development of agriculture. We extracted 8865 relic archeological settlements from the Atlas of Chinese Cultural Relics to analyze how the spatiotemporal distribution of archaeological settlements was influenced by temperature changes and social factors during the last millennium. During the Liao dynasty (AD 916–1125) and Jin dynasty (AD 1115–1234) in the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), a large n…
Transmission pathways of China’s historical climate change impacts based on a food security framework
There are still many uncertainties about how climate change affects the development of human society. The impact of climate change is likely to be weakened or amplified by the response and adaptation of the reciprocal feedback process after entering the socio-economical subsystem. The study of the climate change impact processes is the basis for understanding the mechanisms of climate change impacts. Furthermore, long-term research of climate cha…
Comparison of climatic impacts transmission from temperature to grain harvests and economies between the Han (206 BC–AD 220) and Tang (AD 618–907) dynasties
The present study aims to compare quantitatively the similarities and differences of transmission processes extending from climate change to grain harvests and economies (macro-economy and fiscal balance) between the Han (206 BC–AD 220) and Tang (AD 618–907) dynasties of China. It is found that both the Han and Tang periods displayed close positive correlations among temperature, grain harvest, macro-economy and fiscal balance and conveyed a posi…
Temporal and spatial variation of catastrophic river floodings in the Lower Yellow River from AD 960 to 1938
This study is intended to investigate the patterns for the temporal and spatial changes of catastrophic river floodings which took place in the Lower Yellow River, based on the available records collected from historical documents, and rearranged in a GIS database. A series of catastrophic river floodings from AD 960 to 1938 was reconstructed, and their temporal and spatial variations were analyzed, which leads to the conclusions, among others. (…
Climate change and social vicissitudes in China over the past two millennia
The relation between climate change and historical rhythms has long been discussed. However, this type of study still faces the lack of high-resolution data concerning long-term socio-economic processes. In this study, we collected 1586 items of direct and proffered evidence from 29 Chinese history books. We used semantic analysis to reconstruct a quantitative series of the social vicissitudes of the past 2000 yr with a 10-yr resolution to expres…
Correlation between climate and grain harvest fluctuations and the dynastic transitions and prosperity in China over the past two millennia
The social impacts of climate change constitute an important field within the study of global change. The impacts of historical climate change on dynastic transitions and prosperity in China from a food safety perspective is a helpful research topic that contributes to a better understanding of the impacts, process, and mechanism of climate change, as well as a reference for projecting the impacts of climate change in the future. This study defin…
Macro-Economic Cycles Related to Climate change in Dynastic China
Investigations of the relationships between climate and human history often place more emphasis on the science of climate change than on understanding human socio-economic processes, and therefore suffer from superficial results and an unbalanced perspective. This is partly due to the lack of high-resolution data concerning long-term socio-economic processes. Here, we base our study of climate and society on a series of 2130-yr-long economic prox…
Relationships between temperature change and grain harvest fluctuations in China from 210 BC to 1910 AD
Famine, migration and war: Comparison of climate change impacts and social responses in North China between the late Ming and late Qing dynasties
The human-climate-ecosystem interactions in the past were valuable for today’s human beings who face the challenge of global change. The multi-proxy reconstruction of climate change impacts and social responses and the comparative study between typical periods form an effective tool for elucidating the mechanisms of the interactions. In this paper, with a reconstruction of the proxy series of famine, migration and wars, the most typical social co…
