Abstract
%e sedimentary #lls of two dolines in the Faverghera plateau in the Venetian Pre-Alps, south of Belluno, have been investigated. %is small plateau is a sub-horizontal surface about 0.5 km2 wide, located on the northeastern slope of Mt. Faverghera (1640 m a.s.l.) hosting nearly 40 karst dolines partially #lled by periglacial slope deposits. Topographic survey, electric resistivity tomography (ERT), soil and pollen analyses have been carried on. %e structure of the dolines and the characters of the #lling deposits indicate that the evolution of these forms has been controlled by the alternation of di*erent climatic and environmental conditions during the Pleistocene. %e results indicate that the dolines are “#lters” for the sediments, more than good traps, archiving only some of the climatic and environmental changes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
