A detailed dendrogeomorphological landslide investigation has been carried out at the Tertiary escarpment in northwest Rheinhessen, Germany. For the first time, analysis of shrub growth curves using optical and statistical techniques has
of solifluction layers and mineralogical analyses. In addition, all known landslides were recorded, statistically analysed and evaluated in a data bank. The results are important for the compilation of computer-assisted hazard maps.
