abstract = {Global changes have distinct influence on fluvial processes
in torrents causing erosion on slopes and riverbanks even in
forested areas. Continuous as well as discontinuous erosion
of riverbanks covered by trees frequently results in
destabilisation and finally cause the trees affected to tip
over. These uprooted trees may lead to a blockage of the
river and, in the case of a collapse of the resulting dam,
resulting in severe flooding or even debris-flow surges.
Dating the time of root exposure along riverbanks allows the
reconstruction of erosion dynamics. In the previous studies,
roots of coniferous trees have shown anatomical changes
(cell size reduction in earlywood) after exposure. This
anatomical feature in the xylem of exposed roots has helped
to determine the time of exposure at an annual resolution.
In the current study, this methodology is now applied for
the first time to European ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) to
determine its specific reactions to root exposure.First
results show different reactions in vessel and fibre
dimensions. Fibres show a distinct decrease in lumen area
due to exposure, whereas vessel lumen area displays more
variability ranging from $50\%$ size reduction to no
changes. It is discussed that vessel size characteristics
are also related to ecophysiological and climatic patterns.
