Dendrochronological methods for reconstructing mass movements — An example of landslide activity analysis using tree-ring eccentricity

Abstract: Dendrochronological methods can be applied to the reconstruction of different types of environmental events such as climate changes, fires, glacier movements, floods, earthquakes, volcano activity. In the field of geomorphology dendrochronology is increasingly frequently used for the absolute dating of different types of mass-movements (rock falls, landslides and debris flows, etc.). Trees growing on slopes transformed by mass-movements are tilted and wounded while their stems and root systems are exposed or b… Show more

“…The need to include reference slopes in the dating of landslide activity arises from the fact that eccentricity can also be developed due to factors other than bedrock instability, for instance wind impact, snow creep, asymmetry of the tree crown. The method of dating applied (Malik and Wistuba, ; Wistuba et al ., ) assumes that non‐geomorphic factors influencing eccentricity act in a similar way on both the landslide and reference slopes (fulfilling the criteria described). It also assumes that using a reference slope will allow exclusion from further analysis of geomorphic processes (e.g.…”

“…The method has been described in detail by Malik and Wistuba (2012). It is based on the assumption that tilted trees (deformed by a debris flow event) produce wider rings on one side of the stem and narrower rings on the other -i.e.…”

The debris flow phenomenon is often investigated by analysing the ring width and wood anatomy of affected trees (Baumann and Kaiser, 1999;Malik, 2004;Stoffel et al, 2005;Hrádek and Malik, 2007;Malik and Matyja, 2008; Malik and Owczarek 2009;Stoffel, 2010;Bollschweiler et al, 2011;Lopez Saez et al, 2011;Procter et al, 2011).…”
