Reducing the model’s fuel availability to 20%, as one suggested consequence of the settlement of the pastoralist Sakha people, increases the correlation between simulated and reconstructed data. Colored lines represent the filtered median of ten simulation repeats per scenario, while the transparent bands mark the interquartile range. The vertical line at 1200 CE marks the beginning of the additional fuel reduction.
