Fig. 4: The response of Central Asian streamflow to the plague outbreaks.
From: Ecological and societal effects of Central Asian streamflow variation over the past eight centuries
Results of the superposed epoch analysis (SEA) testing the response of Central Asian streamflow (a) and PDSI of the Mediterranean Basin (b) to the outbreak of the plague events (Supplementary Table 2). The solid lines indicate the 95% significance level. c Comparison between the reconstructed August–July total streamflow (red curve) and PDSI reconstruction of the Mediterranean Basin (blue curve)16. Thick curves are trend lines of the reconstructions along with the circulars representing the outbreak years of the plague in the Mediterranean Basin and Europe.
