Abstract

Abstract A synthesis of paleoclimatic, archaeological, and literary evidence from Central Asia (Transoxiana and the Tarim Basin) during the tenth through twelfth centuries suggests that the Qarakhanid state adapted its hybrid economy to a unique climate regime characterized by drought created by the Medieval Climate Anomaly. To adapt, the Qarakhanids expanded the agricultural and pastoral sections of their economy into foothill and highland ecologies and used diplomacy to support a transregional trade network that helped to stimulate drought-stressed oasis economies on both sides of the Tian Shan. New methodological conclusions relevant for the study of interdisciplinary environmental history in general and for the historiography of premodern mobile pastoralist states in particular provide frameworks for future study.
中世纪气候异常:卡拉汗王朝的适应
摘要综合10至12世纪中亚(Transoxiana和塔里木盆地)的古气候、考古和文学证据表明,卡拉汗王朝将其混合经济适应了一种独特的气候制度,其特征是中世纪气候异常造成的干旱。为了适应这种情况,卡拉汗王朝将其经济的农牧业扩展到山麓和高地生态,并利用外交手段支持跨地区贸易网络,这有助于刺激天山两岸干旱的绿洲经济。与跨学科环境史研究相关的新方法论结论,特别是与前现代流动牧民国家的史学相关的结论,为未来的研究提供了框架。
