Overview on the climate of past centuries on the territory of Romania
Journal Title: Revue Roumaine de Géographie/Romanian Journal of Geography - Year 2012, Vol 56, Issue 1
Abstract
After consulting various sources of historical information, we try to take a note of the most important climatic events in the three Romanian countries (Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania) during the past two millennia (hard winters, droughts, water flood, etc.) and their effects on people’s lives (disease, famine, death) in connection with historical events (migration, wars, invasions). It can detect known periods in Western Europe: the Little Climatic Optimum and Little Ice Age and at the end a very limited period of warming during the twentieth century
