“…Contemporary research of the phenomena is primarily focused on densely inhabited mountain areas where DFs represent a major geomorphic hazard (Lavigne and Suwa, 2004). A large number of studies centre on the predisposition and triggering factors of DFs out of which the most important ones include morphometry of source areas (Rowbotham et al, 2005), geological structure of slopes (Bovis and Jakob, 1999;Sterling and Slaymaker, 2007;Sas and Eaton, 2008) and precipitation intensity preceding the DFs occurrence (Fiorillo and Wilson, 2004;Chen, 2006;Cannon et al, 2008;Coe et al, 2008). Recently, there has been a growing effort to reconstruct the DF activity from the spatial-temporal point of view by means of dendrogeomorphological methods (Santilli and Pelfini, 2002;Bollschweiler et al, 2007Bollschweiler et al, , 2008; Morton et al, 2008).…”
