| Zusammenfassung |
| The paper is oriented on social vulnerability to climate
in Switzerland and in the Czech Lands during the early 1770s. Documentary
sources of climate related to man-made archives are discussed. Methods of
temperature and precipitation reconstruction based on this evidence as well
as climate impact analyses are presented. Modelling of Little Ice Age-type
Impacts (LIATIMP) is applied to highlight climate impacts during the period
1750–1800 in the Swiss Plateau and in the Czech Lands. LIATIMP are defined
as adverse climate situations affecting agricultural production, mainly in terms of
rainy autumns, cold springs and rainy harvest-periods. The most adverse
weather patterns according to this model occurred from 1769 to 1771 causing
two, in the case of the Czech Lands even three successive harvest failures.
The paper addresses the social and economic consequences of this
accumulation of climatic stress and explores how the authorities and the
victims dealt with this situation. |
