Discrimination between environmental and anthropogenic impacts on past civilizations, however, remains difficult because of the paucity of high-resolution paleoclimatic evidence. We present tree ringbased reconstructions of central European summer precipitation and temperature variability over the past 2500 years. Recent warming is unprecedented, but modern hydroclimatic variations may have at times been exceeded in magnitude and duration. Wet and warm summers occurred during periods of Roman and medieval prosperity. Increased climate variability from ~250 to 600 C.E. coincided with the demise of the western Roman Empire and the turmoil of the Migration Period. Such historical data may provide a basis for counteracting the recent political and fiscal reluctance to mitigate projected climate change.","pubRank":"1"}],"site":[{"NOAASiteId":"31579","siteName":"Central Europe","siteCode":null,"mappable":"N","locationName":"Continent>Europe","geo":{"geoType":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"POLYGON","coordinates":["45","53","6","20"]},"properties":{"southernmostLatitude":"45","northernmostLatitude":"53","westernmostLongitude":"6","easternmostLongitude":"20","minElevationMeters":null,"maxElevationMeters":null}},"paleoData":[{"dataTableName":"Aus11","NOAADataTableId":"1001664","earliestYear":-500,"mostRecentYear":2006,"timeUnit":"CE","earliestYearBP":2450,"mostRecentYearBP":-56,"earliestYearCE":-500,"mostRecentYearCE":2006,"coreLengthMeters":null,"dataTableNotes":"This dataset is about Austrian Alps Tree ring data; PAGES ID, Eur_6; Correlation with temperature, positive, CRUTEM4v ;","species":[{"speciesCode":"LADE","scientificName":"Larix decidua Mill.","resourceId":null,"commonName":["European larch"]}],"dataFile":[{"fileUrl":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/reconstructions/pages2k/euro-med2k/Buentgen_et_al_Science_2011.txt","urlDescription":"Data","linkText":"Buentgen_et_al_Science_2011.txt","variables":[],"NOAAKeywords":["earth science>paleoclimate>tree-ring"]},{"fileUrl":"https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/study/10394","urlDescription":"Original Data Source","linkText":"Study ID 10394","variables":[],"NOAAKeywords":["earth science>paleoclimate>tree-ring"]}]}]}],"reference":{"pastThesaurusSkos":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/skos/past-thesaurus.rdf","pastThesaurusExplorer":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/cvterms","gcmdKeywordThesaurus":"https://earthdata.nasa.gov/earth-observation-data/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords"},"dataLicenseDescription":null,"dataLicenseUrl":null}
