tree-tip pit and mound topography
- tree-tip pit and mound topography
A local-scale topography composed of irregularly spaced, small, closed depressions and adjacent mounds caused by the displacement of root balls from trees knocked down by wind (i.e., tree-tip; also called tree-throw). The result is a subdued, irregularly pock-marked or undulating surface; most common in forested areas overlying shallow rooting conditions (e.g., lithic contact, water table, etc). Micro-elevational differences generally range from 0.5 to < 2 m. Sometimes also referred to as (not preferred:) cradle and knoll or pit and mound topography.
