The AA. investigated Table Mountain pine stands growing on dry, west facing slopes in southwestern Virginia. In stands the AA. sampled most Table Mountain pines belonged to a cohort that originated in the early 1900s, probably following a severe
burn. Recent disturbances changed the stands considerably : ice storms, pine beetle infestation. These disturbances stimulated little pine regeneration. The results suggest that without fire, long-term maintenace of Table Mountain pine is improbable.

The use of tomographic geoelectrical measurements for the detection of ground ice occurrences in mountainous regions is evaluated. Because isolated ground ice occurences in a warming climate may be subject to rapid thawing, they present a future
To learn about Quaternary deposits in the Tatra Mountains geophysical studies have been undertaken since the 1970s. Shallow seismic soundings have delivered data concerning the thickness and lithofacies of the deposits. In the main valleys
of the High and Western Tatra Mts. depressions within solid bedrock have been documented. Electroresistivity sounding in the High Tatra Mts. allows for acceptance of the hypothesis that discontinuous permafrost occurs in the High Tatra Mountains. - (BJ)
