“…In addition, for example the cold periods of the 1430s (Camenisch, 2015a; Camenisch, 2015b; Camenisch et al, 2016) and the 1690s (Cullen, 2010; D'Arrigo, Klinger, Newfield, Rydval, & Wilson, 2020), and production failures following particular volcanic eruptions, like the 1257 Samalas eruption (Bauch, 2019; Campbell, 2017; Guillet et al, 2017; Stothers, 2000), have received considerable attention. Furthermore, studies on extreme drought or flood events commonly include discussion about impacts on the grain harvest (see, e.g., Kiss, 2019; Kiss, Piti, Sebok, & Teiszler, 2020; Pribyl & Cornes, 2020; Stone, 2014). Although a majority of the studies focus on particular crisis events, some publications explore the dynamics between climate variability and crop yields on multi‐decadal or even multi‐centennial time‐scales (see, e.g., Brázdil et al, 2019; Campbell, 2010; Huhtamaa & Helama, 2017a; Huhtamaa & Helama, 2017b; Landsteiner, 2005; Parker, 2013; Pfister, 2005; Pfister, 2007b).…”
