Abstract: The authors put clearly forward the concept of low-flow resource carrying capacity in karst region and discuss systematically the meaning and characteristics of low-flow resource carrying capacity in this paper. In order to discuss in detail the theory of
Abstract: With the alkaline-sorption method, the diurnal changes of soil respiration were monitored in Lunan Stone Forest, Yunnan province. In the meanwhile, the carbon stable isotope (CSI) samples were collected and taken to laboratory, the CSI values were examine
Abstract: Through systematic sampling from two typical weathered profiles of carbonate rock at Zunyi and Pingba in Guizhou province and experiments of the specimens with 13 tests on physical indices and 12 tests on chemical total analysis of macro-elements which ar
Abstract: Retrogressive erosion refers to the continued upward and head-ward erosion towards groundwater source produced by the flow of groundwater in cave under the water table after the water table in inner land on the verge of karst basin slope rises during tran
Abstract: This paper chooses three typical areas, Zhenfeng county, Beipanjiang town, Huajiang demonstration area as examples to study the dynamic process of land-use changes in karst area in different spatial scale. It shows that the land-use change in quantity or
Abstract: Preliminary study on the graveyards in karst Fengcong mountain areas in Liangyan, Guizhou shows that: (1)the graveyards have the tendency of distinctly concentration towards certain district of the slope; (2)the thickness of soil is one of important facto
Abstract: Based on the runoff and sediment transport data obtained at Panjiangqiao and Gaoche cross-sections from 1989 to 2001 the soil loss in the Beipanjiang basin is analyzed. It is proved that the soil loss in karst region is of very complex relation with non-
Abstract: Thirty seven species of animal have been found in Qingganglin,Xixian and Shuixiang caves through four times of investigation. The animals in number dominance of each species are Myrmeleom formicarius(larva) on the ground with strong-light at the cave entr
Abstract: Carbonate cement is universally more than 10% in sandstones of the upper Yungang formation in Yungang Grottoes area. It's mainly composed of ferriferous calcite and ferriferous dolomite. Chemical reactions that happened during the weathering of carbonate
Abstract: The modern cave expedition is more popular in the developed countries and has become a weekend and holiday sport. Most of the developed countries have special caving rescue organizations in order to aid the people in caving accidents. By analysis of cavin
Abstract: The fruitful progresses of the Project IGCP 448"Global contrastive study on karst ecosystem"(2000-2004) achieved during the past four years are summarized systematically. Among the progresses, there are some comparatively important new understandings incl
