Zonal assessment of environmental driven settlement abandonment in the Trans-Tisza region (Central Europe) during the early phase of the Little Ice Age
Transformation of lowland settlement patterns as a response to hydrological challenge. Hydroclimatic driven settlement abandonment in the 13th century Great Hungarian Plain. Wetlands significantly rose and croplands narrowed in the overture of Little Ice Age. Causal link between agro-ecological conditions and stability of settlement pattern. Broad synchronism between changing vegetation and settlement structure in early LIA.
