“…The chronology provided by Morellón et al (2012) is compatible with the results obtained for the Jarama River in relation to the first group of floods, between 1481 and 1520, which appears to be a part of the transitional stage between the MCA and the LIA; this group also appears to coincide with the high precipitation detected in northern Morocco (Trouet et al, 2009;Till and Guiot, 1990) and Spain (Manrique and Fernández-Cancio, 2000;Ramos-Román et al, 2018) during these years. The group of floods between 1594 and 1610, which also appears to belong to the transitional stage of the LIA, coincides with the years of intense floods detected in different river basins in Spain (Llasat et al, 2005;Bullón, 2011;Oliva et al, 2018), and Europe (Brázdil et al, 1999;Glaser et al, 2010).…”

This research assesses the close relationship between river history and human adaptation by combining the study of the migration of channels on the floodplain, the temporal distribution of floods, and human adaptation to the fluvial environment during the Little Ice Age (LIA) period on the Jarama River section situated between the mouths of two tributaries, the Henares and Manzanares. The methodology consists of the employment of abundant documentary records from the 14th to 19th centuries related to the response of society to hydrological dynamics within changing river patterns. The management and delimitation of land ownership, along with the readjustments and modifications therein, allow the inference of the changes that have taken place in the river throughout history. These changes include meander cut-offs, the abandonment of a channel fragment and aggradation in the alluvial plain, all of them located in different areas within the study area and with different historical timeframes. A relationship exists between changes in fluvial dynamics and the times of the greater abundance of floods. An initial change in the alluvial plain occurred in the Middle Ages as a result of the abandonment of the medieval channel and the creation of a new channel. The second change occurred between the 15th and 17th centuries and affected the properties on the right-hand bank of the river. Since the 18th century, the abandonment of and reduction in meanders and the aggradation at the Manzanares-Jarama mouth have created a new alluvial plain of the river. The different phases of the LIA defined herein coincide with much of the palynological and dendrochronological research conducted in other areas of the southwestern fringe of Europe. From the historical point of view, critical changes appear to be associated with some LIA phases. Furthermore, the progressive transformation of communal lands into public or private property could be promoted by the intense floods recorded since the 15th century. The Maunder and Dalton Minimums occurred together with an increase in the area assigned for agriculture on the alluvial plain; this land use type continued to grow during the 19th and 20th centuries.

“…However, the values corresponding to 1800 are very similar to modern values, ranging between 25.4 and 28.4 • C in July 1800 (27.4 • C in 1961-1990), and between 25.1 and 28.1 • C in August 1800 (27.9 • C in . This result underlines the marked variability of the climate in the Iberian Peninsula during the LIA [14,37]. Under the general cold conditions of this period, it is the logical qualitative perception of contemporaneous authors that it was a very hot summer.…”

“…The coldest period during the LIA is considered to be the 17th century, when a social and economic crisis spread globally [34]. The end of the LIA is normally dated to the mid-19th century, at the beginning of the industrial period [35], although according to dendroclimatological studies [36][37][38], the end of the LIA in the Iberian Peninsula can be dated to the 18th century, in the 1770s. However, cold and wet conditions in southern Spain continued until at least the mid-19th century.…”

The Influence of Meteorological Conditions on the Yellow Fever Epidemic in Cádiz (Southern Spain) in 1800: A Historical Scientific Controversy

A yellow fever epidemic occurred in Cádiz and other areas of southern Spain during the last months of 1800. An anonymous author attributed this disease to the contrast between the cold and rainy winter and spring, and the subsequent very hot summer. However, the physician J.M. Aréjula published a report in 1806 where he refuted this conclusion after a detailed analysis of the meteorological conditions in the area. This controversy is a good example of the discussion about the relationships between meteorological conditions and public health. In this work, this “scientific” controversy is studied. Although the arguments of both authors were inspired by the neo-Hippocratic medical paradigm, the anonymous author put forth a simple cause–effect hypothesis, while Aréjula recognized the complexity of the problem, introducing the concept of “concause” to explain the confluence of environmental and contagious effects.

“…Para el período que nos interesa en relación con la ocupación del Castillo de Pambre, entre el 1300 y el 1480 se documenta un enfriamiento creciente con oscilaciones climáticas moderadas, entre 1480 y 1570 se dan unas condiciones más templadas, seguidas posteriormente de un enfriamiento gradual entre 1570 y 1620, llegando al período más frío conocido como el Mínimo de Maunder entre los años 1620 y 1715, con temperaturas aproximadamente 2ºC por debajo de (Oliva et al 2018). A partir de los análisis dendroclimáticos, los períodos que concentran una mayor cantidad de oscilaciones se producirían en los intervalos comprendidos entre el 1400 y c 1600 y las temperaturas alcanzarían sus valores más bajos en el 1500 (Manrique y Fernández Cancio 2000). En el noroeste de Iberia los registros documentados en las turberas y en los depósitos marinos señalan el año 1700 como el momento en el que se alcanzan los episodios más fríos de la Pequeña Edad del Hielo (Martínez-Cortizas et al 1999, Desprat et al 2003.…”

Se presentan los resultados del análisis antracológico, así como los datos dendrológicos y tafonómicos de varias muestras de carbón. Estas fueron recuperadas durante la intervención arqueológica desarrollada en el Castillo de Pambre (Palas de Rei, Lugo) en el año 2014, en relación con las tareas de rehabilitación del conjunto de edificaciones del castillo. Los datos obtenidos nos permiten definir el uso como combustible de los recursos leñosos que realizaron los ocupantes del castillo durante los siglos XV-XVII. Se documenta un predominio de la madera de roble (Quercus sp. caducifolio), seguida del avellano (Corylus avellana) junto con una gran diversidad de taxones, especialmente de árboles frutales, mientras que los taxones de matorral son poco significativos en el conjunto. Esto a pesar de coincidir con un período frío, la Pequeña Edad del Hielo, y de la importante deforestación registrada tanto en los datos paleoambientales como en la documentación.
