    Abstract
  • Karst process is an important mechanism for carbon sink because dissolution of carbonate rock consumes atmospheric and/or soil CO2. This paper firstly introduces the methods of solute load and carbonate-rock-tablet test to calculate the intensity of karst process and the relevant carbon sink, and discusses the advantage and disadvantages of these methods (i.e., solute load method is only valid for the case where there is well-defined boundary and closed discharge of catchment, while carbonate-rock-tablet test is only valid for the case where there is no carbonate in the tested soil), and then put forward the method of maximum potential dissolution. With the method of maximum potential dissolution, the intensity of karst process and the relevant carbon sink can be obtained only if air temperature, rainfall and evapotranspiration are known in an area.
