Karst rocky desertification delineation and estimation of potential soil loss in tropical karst cockpits

Kuwait Journal of Science
Tropical cockpit karst, characterized by hilly topography, steep slopes, and thin soil layers, is highly susceptible to land degradation in the form of karst rocky desertification (KRD). KRD occurs due to acute soil erosion in karst environments, leading to the exposure of bedrock.

A Review of Advances in Flash Drought Research: Challenges and Future Directions

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Flash Droughts (FDs) are intense, short‐duration drought events with rapid onset and intensification, occurring on subseasonal‐to‐seasonal timescales (weeks to months) and causing significant socio‐economic impacts. Their rapid development poses significant challenges for improving prediction efforts at these timescales.

Research on Vegetation Dynamics and Driving Mechanisms in Karst Desertified Areas Integrating Remote Sensing and Multi-Source Data

Agriculture
Rocky desertification severely restricts socio-economic development in the karst regions. However, assessments linking karst rocky desertification and NPP changes over the long term and at high resolution are limited.

DEFORESTATION AND ROCKY DESERTIFICATION PROCESSES IN GUNUNG SEWU KARST LANDSCAPE (Proses Deforestasi dan Rocky Desertifcation di Landskap Karst Gunung Sewu)

, 2011
Kerapuhan suatu kawasan karst merupakan dasar terbentuknya rocky desertification, yaitu proses yang merubah kawasan karst yang sebelumnya ditutupi oleh vegetasi dan tanah, menjadi landskap batuan hampir tanpa vegetasi dan tanah (Yuan, 1991: 1).
