Climate and Society in Chinese History
This article reviews 292 studies, published between 1980 and 2024, on the relationship between climate change and human history in China ( c . 770 bce –1949 ce ), in both Chinese and English. We synthesize key findings, highlight debates and consensus, and identify future research directions, focusing on the causal links between changes in climate and human societies. Despite significant progress, challenges remain, including uneven temporal and …
Famines in medieval and early modern Europe—Connecting climate and society
The article evaluates recent scholarship on famines in Europe during the medieval and early modern periods ( c . 700–1800), synthesizing the state‐of‐the‐art knowledge and identifying both research gaps and interdisciplinary potentials. Particular focus is placed on how , and to what extent , climatic change and variability is given explanatory power in famine causation. Current research, supported by recent advances in palaeoclimatology, reveals…
The significance of climate variability on early modern European grain prices
Grain was the most important food source in early modern Europe ( c . 1500–1800), and its price influenced the entire economy. The extent to which climate variability determined grain price variations remains contested, and claims of solar cycle influences on prices are disputed. We thoroughly reassess these questions, within a framework of comprehensive statistical analysis, by employing an unprecedentedly large grain price data set together wit…
Climate and society in European history
This article evaluates 165 studies from various disciplines, published between 2000 and 2019, which in different ways link past climate variability and change to human history in medieval and early modern Europe (here, c . 700–1815 CE). Within this review, we focus on the identification and interpretation of causal links between changes in climate and in human societies. A revised climate–society impact order model of historical climate–society i…
Construction history and timber use of the medieval settlement Nadymskiy Gorodok in the northwestern Siberian forest-tundra
European warm-season temperature and hydroclimate since 850 CE
The long-term relationship between temperature and hydroclimate has remained uncertain due to the short length of instrumental measurements and inconsistent results from climate model simulations. This lack of understanding is particularly critical with regard to projected drought and flood risks. Here we assess warm-season co-variability patterns between temperature and hydroclimate over Europe back to 850 CE using instrumental measurements, tre…
The spatiotemporal distribution of Late Viking Age Swedish runestones
Linking European building activity with plague history
Old World megadroughts and pluvials during the Common Era
An atlas of megadroughts in Europe and in the Mediterranean Basin during the Common Era provides insights into climate variability.
Late Quaternary fluvial dynamics of the Jarama River in central Spain
