Archaea and their interactions with bacteria in a karst ecosystem. [PDF]

open access: yesFront 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 ...

Village ecosystem vulnerability in karst desertification control: evidence from South China Karst

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Against the background of global environmental changes and the intensification of human activity, the village ecosystem faces enormous challenges. In particular, the rural areas in South China Karst face serious problems, such as karst desertification and human–land conflicts.

Carbonate Mineral Dissolution and Its Carbon Sink Effect in Chinese Loess

open access: yesLand, 2022
The relationship between the source and sink of atmospheric CO2 has always been a widely discussed issue in global climate change research. Recent studies revealed that the chemical weathering of carbonate rocks contributed to 1/3 (~0.5 Pg C/yr) of the ...

The Response of Land Surface Temperature Changes to the Vegetation Dynamics in the Yangtze River Basin

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Land surface temperature (LST) is a key parameter in the study of surface energy balance and climate change from local through to global scales. Vegetation has inevitably influenced the LST by changing the surface properties.

Effect of microbes on karstification in karst ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yesChinese Science Bulletin, 2011
The role of microbes in the karstification process was determined based on the karst dynamics, CO2 capture, and carbonate deposition. A close relationship was found among microbial activity, karst dynamics and stability, and the carbon cycle in a karst ecosystem.
