Abstract
Summary
The resistivity method in geophysics is used to solve various geological and engineering problems. Recently, this non-destructive method has been used on trees to investigate possible infections within the trunks by creating resistivity tomography images. In this study, the electrical resistivity method has been applied on various tree types at three different locations in Istanbul, Turkey. Then the measured data are processed via a specifically written program in MATLAB. The processed data are used to prepare resistivity contour plots as slices and the results are interpreted considering moisture content within the trunk.
