Effect of an oak tree on seasonal ground movements in the Lower Lias Clay, Bristol, UK
Abstract Changes in ground elevation were monitored between 1990 and 1997 at depths of 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 and 1.6 m and distances of 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 50 m from a mature oak tree on the Lias Clay of Lower Jurassic age. Whilst movement was evident at all monitoring points, it was most pronounced within 5 m of the tree where in 1995 a maximum seasonal difference of 63 mm was recorded at 0.4 m depth, compared with only 14 mm at the same depth but 10 m from the tree. The influence of the tree on the geotechnical properties of the Liassic clays is reported.
