Karst geosites in NE Italy.

open access: yes, 2010
Karsts areas are “landscapes of special geological and geomorphologic interest which call for conservation” and can therefore be defined as potential geosites according to the definition given by Cleal et al. [2]. This communication briefly describes the

Spatiotemporal Interactions of Land Use Change, Land Surface Temperature, and Vegetation Dynamics in China's Caohai National Nature Reserve

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use change (LUC), land surface temperature (LST), and vegetation indices is critical for assessing ecological changes and informing sustainable land management. This study investigates the long‐term interrelationships between LUC, LST, and vegetation indices in China's Caohai National Nature ...

Proposal of a typology of karst systems functioning based on relevant indicators of karst springs hydrodynamics

open access: yes, 2021
International audience10% of the world’s population is dependent on karst water resources for drinking water. Understanding the functioning of these complex and heterogeneous systems is therefore a major challenge for long term water resource management.

Seasonal Dynamics of Soil Multitrophic Biodiversity, Co‐Occurrence Network and Assembly Mechanisms Under Typical Vegetation Restoration Patterns in Karst Region

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies often overlooked the dynamic effects of karst vegetation restoration on soil multi‐trophic biodiversity and the underlying community‐assembly mechanisms. To fill this gap, we performed a seasonal comparative analysis of soil biodiversity, co‐occurrence network architecture, and assembly processes across three representative ...

Land Degradation Pathways of Open‐Pit and Underground Mining in Karst Regions: A Spatial Indicator Assessment

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining in the karst regions of southwest China threatens ecosystem stability and accelerates land degradation. Regional evaluation rarely distinguishes between degradation pathways in open‐pit and underground operations, due to spatial heterogeneity and geomorphological confounding effects.

From Trapped to Resilient Mountains: Diversified Coupling Pathways Linking Land Use Transition and Rural Revitalization for Mountain Sustainable Development

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The synergistic interplay among land use transition, rural revitalization, and sustainable development is critical for harmonizing human‐land‐economic systems. Understanding their diverse coupling pathways is key to resolving human‐land conflicts and advancing sustainable rural development in mountainous regions. However, existing research has

Study on the development model of deep carbonate paleokarst reservoirs in the Tarim Basin

open access: yesCarsologica Sinica
As a critical hydrocarbon-bearing basin in China, the Tarim Basin contains exceptionally abundant oil and gas resources within its Paleozoic marine carbonate formations, particularly in the deep subsurface where it exhibits significant exploration ...

Low Soil Organic Matter Stability Exacerbates the Vulnerability of Karst Areas to Rocky Desertification

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Karst rocky desertification represents a severe form of land degradation and has traditionally been attributed to geological and hydrological constraints. However, soil organic matter (SOM), a key regulator of erosion resistance, is highly responsive to management practices, yet its contribution to rocky desertification remains poorly ...

National Cave And Karst Museum

open access: yes, 2013
Caves are natural museums housing ancient relics, unusual life forms, and amazing discoveries- wrapped in a shell of geologic history. Karst landscapes are spectacular, their aquifers provide hundreds of millions of people worldwide with drinking water ...
