Description
Summary:The purpose of the present paper focuses upon the importance of the establishment a recurrence period for avalanches and the identification of the main forestry species, due to the juvenile vegetation found in the avalanches paths. During measurements, there were registered a series of characteristics which proved the existence of a major event (scars, changings in wood reactions, deviated tree-rings etc.). Based on the results reported through the presence of the events on dead wood but also on the present vegetation in the area, we shall realize a relative chronology of high-magnitude avalanches in the studied area, for every avalanche path considered. As our research advanced, we noticed that beyond the enhancements brought in the specialty field, the establishment of a recurrence period for avalanches may have a scientific impact, from the perspective of understanding which pioneer species are going to install in the juvenile forestry vegetation, localized in the avalanches paths. All data (dendro-chronological and susceptibility analysis) indicate that in 2006 occurred a high-magnitude avalanche, destroying trees from slopes but also a cottage. The cottage was nearly built and was localized in path I.
