New research on grain production in Scania, southern Sweden between 1702 and 1911 suggests that output was unequally sensitive to climate trends throughout the year, correlating higher outputs with cooler summers and drier winters. Conversely, yields were relatively insensitive to variation during spring and fall. These trends became less strong for the latter years of the series as new cultivars were introduced in the region.
