A review of Studies Dealing with Tree Rings and Rockfall Activity: the Role of Dendrogeomorphology in Natural Hazard Research
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This article is a literature review dealing with the various ways that tree ring data can be used for analysis of rockfall activity. Typically, this type of research has been done using historical archives, lichenometric studies, or through frequency-volume statistics. The overall purpose of this paper is to present a literature review study about the current state of tree ring research as it pertains to rockfall activity and to what extent dendrogeomorphology contributes to rockfall research.

Selecting tree species for use in rockfall-protection forests
Research on protection forests designed to alleviate rockfall hazard has increased enormously over the last decade. Data are available concerning the most suitable stem spacing and density regimes in stands. The species used in protection forests can also influence enormously the effectiveness of the forest in conferring a protective role. Little information exists, however, about either the me...

The understanding of geomorphic processes and knowledge of past events are important tasks for the assessment of natural hazards. Tree rings have on varied occasions proved to be a reliable tool for the acquisition of data on past events. In this review paper, we provide an overview on the use of tree rings in natural hazards research, starting with a description of the different types of distu...
متن کاملRockfall characterisation and structural protection - a review
Rockfall is an extremely rapid process involving long travel distances. Due to these features, when an event occurs, the ability to take evasive action is practically zero and, thus, the risk of injury or loss of life is high. Damage to buildings and infrastructure is quite likely. In many cases, therefore, suitable protection measures are necessary. This contribution provides an overview of pr...

متن کاملChronological Studies of Traffic Pollution Using Elemental Analysis of Tree Rings: Case Study of Haatso-atomic Road
Mitigation of atmospheric pollution has been a topic of concern over the past decades. In this study, tree rings have been used to reconstruct past climates as well as to assess the effects of recent climatic and environmental changes on tree growth. Vehicular emission is one of the major sources of pollutants in the atmosphere and this study focused on the Haatso-Atomic road which over the yea...
