7. Dendrogeomorphology: trees as recorders of natural hazards
Dendrogeomorphology is based on the concept of a "process-event-response", which postulates that woody plants have a great capacity to react to stresses linked to disturbances in their growth environment. The process encompasses geomorphological activity and natural and/or anthropogenic changes to the environment that are sufficiently rapid and irreversible on the scale of a few years (erosion, sedimentation, impoundment of water, human intervention, etc.). The event corresponds to the disturbance suffered by the tree when the process or change affects it. It can result in direct mechanical damage and/or physical disruption of...
