Description :
In this paper, dendrogeomorphology has been used to investigate spatial and temporal variations of rockfall activity in a protection forest. The AA. report results of 564 cores from 135 European larch trees (Larix decidua Mill.) on the west-facing Täschgufer slope, Swiss Alps, documenting decadal and yearly variations in rockfall activity over more than 400 years.
