Importance of sampling design to increase climate signal detection in shrub ring chronologies
Shrub dendrochronology is gaining increasing momentum in temperate high mountain regions to decipher climatic controls on current shrub expansion. Yet, a lack of consensus still persists in terms of sampling protocols, thus hampering comparability of results from different studies. For instance, serial sectioning, i.e. the sampling of multiple sections along the same shrub stem is recommended as it increases the detection of partial and missing r…

Shrub growth in the Alps diverges from air temperature since the 1990s
In the European Alps, air temperature has increased almost twice as much as the global average over the last century and, as a corollary, snow cover duration has decreased substantially. In the Arctic, dendroecological studies have evidenced that shrub growth is highly sensitive to temperature—this phenomenon has often been linked to shrub expansion and ecosystem greening. Yet, the impacts of climate change on mountain shrub radial growth have no…
Impacts of land-cover changes on snow avalanche activity in the French Alps
New insights on the chronology of medieval mining activity in the small polymetallic district of Faravel (Massif des Écrins, Southern French Alps) derived from dendrochronological and archaeological a…

Snow and Ice Avalanches
Avalanches are defined as large masses of snow or ice moving rapidly down a mountainside or over a precipice. Throughout history, avalanches have played an important role and have also shaped mountain societies – nowadays, they remain a threat to human lives and repeatedly damage or destroy infrastructure in mountain regions. Substantial progress has been achieved over the past few decades in the field of snow avalanche research, thereby contribu…
Dendrogeomorphology
Dendrogeomorphology is the science of using growth anomalies in tree‐ring records to infer past geomorphic activity. Tree rings have been demonstrated to be a very useful and reliable archive of past process dynamics and changes thereof because they preserve evidence of past geomorphic activity and provide critical information on the dating of past events with annual or subannual resolution. This entry documents recent progress in the research fi…
Dendroecological Dating of Geomorphic Disturbance in Trees
The initial employment of tree rings in geomorphic studies was simply as a dating tool and only rarely were other environmental information and records of damage contained within the tree exploited. However, these annually resolved tree-ring records also preserve valuable archives of past geomorphic processes on timescales of decades to centuries. As many of these processes are significant natural hazards, understanding their distribution, timing…
Seven centuries of avalanche activity at Echalp (Queyras massif, southern French Alps) as inferred from tree rings
The purpose of this study was to reconstruct spatiotemporal patterns of avalanche events in a forested avalanche path of the Queyras massif (Echalp avalanche path, southeast French Alps). Analysis of past events was based on tree-ring series from 163 heavily affected multicentennial larch trees ( Larix decidua Mill.) growing near or next to the avalanche path. A total of 514 growth disturbances, such as tangential rows of traumatic resin ducts, t…
