Mining operations can have a significant impact on the environment, which may result in surface lowering due to overburden disturbance, commonly referred to as mining subsidence. This issue has been extensively studied in many engineering studies. However, the dendrogeomorphic approach can provide additional insights into this issue. This study examined the tree-ring response of black alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.) to subsidence. The analysis of subsidence activity was exclusively conducted through tree-ring eccentricity (EC). Using the Knothe method, the theoretical radius of main subsidence influence range was determined to differentiate between periods of mining influence and non-mining influence. Significantly higher event-response (It) index (p = 0.0001) was calculated during years with mining influence. Nevertheless, the use of the It index alone is insufficient for reconstructing the subsidence events as the process is continuous. When comparing the recorded reactions of the onset of EC across different subsidence rates from 2012 to 2015, no distinctive differences were found in tree growth response. The use of dendrogeomorphology and tree-ring eccentricity has proven valuable in studying the subsidence process. Nonetheless, new challenges persist, particularly regarding secondary processes like landslide activity or residual subsidence.
