Spatio-temporal activity of mass movements in the Krušné Hory Mountains (Czech Republic) : dendrogeomorphological case study

Auteur :
BURDA, J.

Description :
This article utilizes dendrogeomorphology to investigate the spatial and temporal variation of mass movement dynamics on south-eastfacing slopes of the Krušné Hory Mountains, an area affected by open-pit mining. It is based on 93 samples collected from 35 disturbed Fagus sylvatica trees. These samples were taken in five model locations, representing the most problematic sections of the entire area. For reasons of sample depth, the analysis was limited to the period from 1900 to 2006. The article focuses on growth disturbances such as eccentric growth of annual tree-rings and abrupt growth changes. - (EN)
