Threat of soil formation rate to health of karst ecosystem

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Karst ecosystems are important to several billion people, so it is necessary to accurately diagnose and evaluate the health of these ecosystems for socioeconomic development; however, the existing evaluation methods have many limitations, so they cannot accurately evaluate the ecosystem health in karst areas.

Tradeoffs and synergies between ecosystem services: A comparison of the karst and non-karst area

Journal of Mountain Science, 2020
Under the influence of various natural and human factors, the relationship between the ecosystem services provided for human beings by a karst ecosystem is becoming increasingly complex, profoundly limiting the effective and sustainable development of the social economy and ecosystem protection in karst areas. Taking Guizhou, China as an example, which

On the Karst Ecosystem

Acta Geologica Sinica, 2001
AbstractIn this paper the author gives a definition of the karst ecosystem and discusses the characteristics of the karst environment and karst ecosystem and the relationship between life and the karst environment. Finally he clarifies the structure, driving force and functions of the karst system.

Changes in ecosystem service values in karst areas of China

Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, 2020
Abstract Karst ecosystem services (ESs), the key components of global terrestrial ESs, play a crucial role in human welfare and livelihood. However, the spatiotemporal changes of ecosystem service values (ESVs) in the karst areas of China remain unclear. In this paper, land use/land cover (LULC) data were used to estimate the ESVs changes during 1992–

Differential thresholds of net ecosystem productivity in karst and non-karst regions for identifying their potential carbon sinks areas

Journal of Environmental Management
Within ecosystems, habitat influences structure, and structure determines function, forming a habitat-structure-function framework (HSFF). Net ecosystem productivity (NEP) is a key indicator for assessing regional or global carbon dynamics. However, the response thresholds of NEP to habitat and structural factors, along with management strategies based

Ecohydrological characterization of the karst groundwater dependent ecosystems of the Dinaric karst in Slovenia

2022
<p>Karst groundwater dependent ecosystems (KGDEs) represent an important asset worldwide due to their ecological and socioeconomic values. Although they are increasingly recognized as such, they have not been adequately documented and studied. The present contribution aims at characterizing the main KGDEs of the Dinaric karst in Slovenia.
