Description :
Goal of this study was to analyze vessel lumen length (LL) and width (LW) change on 49 microsections prepared from 15 landslide-disturbed-birches, because very little is known yet about change of the shape characteristics of vessels of Betula pendula as a result of different mass movements. Overall, the highest values of annual change index (ACI) were calculated in microsections sampled in the direction of slope distribution – side of reaction wood production, where ACI2010/11 average value was higher than 43% which is twice more than values from other samples. - (EN)
