Archaea and their interactions with bacteria in a karst ecosystem. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2023 Karst ecosystems are widely distributed around the world, accounting for 15–20% of the global land area. However, knowledge on microbial ecology of these systems does not match with their global importance. To close this knowledge gap, we sampled three niches including weathered rock, sediment, and drip water inside the Heshang Cave and three types of ...

Karst landscapes of China: patterns, ecosystem processes and services [PDF]
Landscape Ecology, 2019 Abstract Context The karst region of southwestern China, one of the largest continuous karsts in the world, is known for its unique landscapes and rich biodiversity. This region has suffered severe environmental degradation (e.g., vegetation cover loss, soil erosion and biodiversity loss).

Ecosystem service delivery in Karst landscapes: anthropogenic perturbation and recovery [PDF]
Acta Geochimica, 2017 Couvrant de vastes régions de la Chine, les paysages karstiques sont exceptionnels car un changement rapide et intensif de l'utilisation des terres n'a provoqué une grave dégradation de l'écosystème qu'au cours des 50 dernières années. L'intensification de la production alimentaire par l'agriculture au XXe siècle a entraîné une détérioration rapide de ...
