Mining activities at depth: A dendrogeomorphological perspective

Original language description

Mining subsidence poses a significant threat to the environment, with surface deformations often resulting in the loss of original settlements. The degree of surface damage varies between areas of long-term, continuous mining and peripheral zones where only a limited number of coal seams have been mined. This study involved a comprehensive analysis of 145 Larix decidua Mill. trees across two sites with differing degrees of undermining. This study evaluates dendrogeomorphological dating methods using reaction wood (RW) and abrupt growth suppression (AGS) to reconstruct mining-induced subsidence. The analysis successfully identified subsidence events, including those occurring at significant distances of up to 1.3 km from mining activities. Key differences were observed between the two sites: the continuously affected site exhibited prolonged subsidence events linked to extensive mining, while the peripheral site recorded discrete, sudden events. These findings highlight the potential of dendrogeomorphology for reconstructing subsidence activity with high temporal and spatial resolution, particularly during periods of intense mining activity. However, they also emphasize the importance of incorporating diverse tree ages and expanded anatomical analyses to improve accuracy and capture broader subsidence dynamics.
