MULTITEMPORAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A SLOPE CHARACTERIZED BY DENUDATION PROCESSES IN THE UPPER ORCIA VALLEY (SOUTHERN TUSCANY, ITALY) BY MEANS OF DENDROGEOMORPHOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGY MONITORING TECHNIQUES

Introduction

Multitemporal characterization of a slope characterized by denudation processes in the upper orcia valley (southern tuscany, italy) by means of dendrogeomorphology and geomorphology monitoring techniques. Multitemporal characterization of slope denudation processes in the Upper Orcia Valley, Southern Tuscany, Italy, using dendrogeomorphology and geomorphology monitoring.

Review

The submitted material, consisting solely of a title and a blank abstract, presents a fundamental challenge to a proper journal review. The title itself – "MULTITEMPORAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A SLOPE CHARACTERIZED BY DENUDATION PROCESSES IN THE UPPER ORCIA VALLEY (SOUTHERN TUSCANY, ITALY) BY MEANS OF DENDROGEOMORPHOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGY MONITORING TECHNIQUES" – suggests a highly relevant and methodologically interesting study. It promises a detailed, multi-proxy investigation into a specific geomorphological process (denudation) in a defined geographical area, utilizing advanced techniques like dendrogeomorphology and continuous monitoring. This combination hints at a strong potential for contributing to our understanding of slope dynamics and the application of these methods. However, the complete absence of an abstract renders any meaningful evaluation of the work impossible. An abstract is the cornerstone of any scientific publication, providing a concise summary of the study's objectives, the methods employed, the key findings, and the main conclusions. Without this critical information, a reviewer cannot assess the novelty of the research, the appropriateness of the methodologies, the significance of the results, or the validity of the interpretations. It is impossible to gauge whether the research questions are clearly stated, if the study design is sound, or if the findings contribute substantially to the existing body of knowledge in geomorphology or dendrochronology. Therefore, the primary recommendation is that the authors *must* provide a comprehensive abstract for the submission to be considered for peer review. Once a full abstract is supplied, a thorough assessment can be made regarding the paper's scientific merit. This assessment would focus on the clarity of the research goals, the rigor of the dendrogeomorphological and monitoring techniques, the robustness of the data analysis, the originality of the findings regarding denudation processes in the Upper Orcia Valley, and the overall contribution to process geomorphology and multitemporal landscape evolution studies.
