Abstract: Most of the bare karst areas environments with the widest distribution in southern China have peak cluster depression landforms. With high incidence of many environmental problems such as rocky desertification, flood, water shortage, and water pollution, the karst environment there is proved to be v...
Abstract: As a main natural discharge point of karst groundwater, Niangziguan spring group consists of 11 springs and is located in Niangziguan town, Yangquan City, Shanxi Province. It is distributed on the floodplain and terrace of the Taohe river, the Wenhe river and the Mianhe river, with an exposed elevat...
Abstract: Dalongdong Reservoir, a typical groundwater recharge reservoir in karst area of southwest China, is located at 23°30′01″−23°40′08″N and 108°30′02″−108°36′04″E in Shanglin county, Nanning City, Guangxi. This large reservoir was built mainly for irrigation and power generation by blocking caves, sinkh...
Abstract: The study area is located in Xinxu, Xintian county, the middle of southern Hunan, in which Devonian carbonate rocks are widely distributed in the south of N26°30'. 44 samples have been taken from some boreholes and springs in different lithologic distribution areas in different seasons for many year...
Abstract: An evaluation of rocky desertification comprehensive control is very important to optimize and improve strategy for rocky desertification control modes. This paper aims to (Ⅰ) analyze the relationship among agricultural structure, industrial resources situation, economy benefit and ecology benefit; ...
Abstract: The exposed karst area in the world is about 17.9 million km2, mainly distributed in China, Vietnam, France, Slovenia, the United States and other countries. Covering a total area of 780,000 km2, the karst are in south China is most widely distributed in the world, mainly in the most area of 8 provi...
Abstract: As an important parameter for soil quality assessment, soil organic matter (SOM) can provide nutrients for crops, strengthen soil fertility, and improve soil physicochemical properties. Besides, SOM also plays an important role in restricting the activity of heavy metal elements and pesticide residu...
Abstract: The study area, Guanling-Zhenfeng Huajiang demonstration area of karst plateau canyon, covers 51.62 km2 with the karst area of 45.39 km2. It is a typical area of karst plateau canyon on the Guizhou plateau with an elevation difference between 370 and 1,355 meters. In this study, a simulation device ...
Abstract: As a research focus of landscape pattern change, the change and its prediction of landscape patterns in the watershed of karst lake is explored with the purpose of providing a scientific basis for the ecological safety in karst watershed in this study. The data of remote sensing image in the watersh...
Abstract: Karst collapse columns (KCCs) are formed in the process of geological evolution in North China coalfield. Their roots are developed in the Ordovician or Cambrian carbonate rocks, and pass upward through Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic strata, and even enter the Jurassic, Cretaceous and Quaternary l...
Abstract: Tunnel flood assessment is a nonlinear and complex system with uncertainty. Scientific and reasonable flood grading evaluation and corresponding prevention and treatment measures have become the primary problem to be solved in the construction and operation of karst tunnels. Firstly, aimed at the un...
Abstract: Built on the Dagan river-a three-tier tributary of the Nanpan river from the Zhujiang river system, Wanzi reservoir is located at Wanzi village on the edge of Luoping basin 13 km from the southwest of Luoping county of Yunan Province. It is a typically karst-damaged reservoir in eastern Yunnan, with...
Abstract: The spatial distribution of karst underground river pipelines is complex and changeable; therefore, it is of great significance for us to carry out the earth science work in karst areas to develop an effective detection technology for the identification of pipelines. Based on the characteristics tha...
Abstract: The study area is located in the southern mountainous area of Jinan City, which is an exposed-covered karst mountainous area with low hilly landform surrounded by mountains on the east, west and south sides. The overall terrain is high in the south and low in the north, and is generally a north incl...
Abstract: Digital elevation model (DEM) contains rich morphological information because the process of digital terrain modeling and extracting a series of terrain parameters based on DEM data with various spatial resolutions, known as Digital Terrain Analysis (DTA), has achieved a number of advances in topogr...
