Other claims from this paper (9)
- Method / resource Allometric relationships were developed for tree dimensions and biomass.
- Observation Robinia pseudoacacia occupied the highest elevations before flooding.
- Observation Salix occupied the lowest elevations.
- Observation The oldest trees at each elevation had survived 1.8–2.5 m prior inundation.
- Association Trees could survive flooding while roots remained embedded in soil.
- Observation Salix had the greatest survival despite higher inundation.
- Mechanism Deep roots and elastic shoots probably contributed to Salix survival.
- Mechanism Sediment mobilization was the major cause of tree mortality.
- Mechanism Salix colonization of coarse sediment contributed to survival through lower tractive force.
