Abstract: Intermountain basins in karst plateaus, known as karst fault-depression basins, resulted from subsidence and dissolution of fault blocks induced by Cenozoic tectonic uplift. Determined by the mechanism dominated by these processes, these basins are characterized by distinct geomorphic zones, intense...
Abstract: The purpose of this work is to explore the effect of parent rock at caves on the cave system and its secondary sediments. Taking the Xueyudong Cave in Fengdu, Chongqing City as an example, we have made a detailed investigation to characterize its sedimentary geology, and study the relationship betwe...
Abstract: The sedimentary rock of the Weining formation in the Ziyun area is characterized by platform margin algal mound deposits. Intensive study of borehole core from the well Ziye-1 shows that the sedimentary facies of the Weining formation is in total an upward grading sequence due to sea regression taki...
Abstract: Baomoshan formation of the Early Permian widely distributes in Shuicheng area; its lithology is a layer of carbonate rock with an intercalated thin clastic rocks. The composition of the carbonate rocks greatly changes in horizontal direction. In this study, 9 strip plane sections and more than 300 p...
Abstract: Fushan copper mine is located in Fushan district, a hilly area in Yantai City, Shandong Province. Geologically, the region is composed of the lower Proterozoic Fenzishan group and Quaternary deposits, with lithology of the former mainly characterized by metamorphic rocks as marble which forms the wa...
Abstract: The Fengshui karst spring system is the most important groundwater resources for water supply in the area of Zibo, Shandong Province. Due to serious industrial pollution of the previous water source in Dawu area, a new water source located in Liuzheng area is identified and explored to carry out the...
Abstract: The Qiaojia district in Jinshajiang river is about 15 km long, of which the cross section is topographically a trapezoidal valley with a relieved bottom and a maximum corrading depth up to 2,719 m. Along the valley karst aquifers develop well and Quaternary porous aquifers distribute at bottom of th...
Abstract: The Zhaidi karst underground river system is located in Guangxi of southwest China and is a typical karst spring catchment with a mean annual discharge of around 1.62 m3/s. The catchment area is about 31.05 km2, with altitudes ranging from 190 m to 820 m a.s.l, and is developed mainly in the Devonia...
Abstract: Karst ecosystems are typical vulnerable ecosystems in the world. The variety of ecosystems provides multiple important services such as water conservation, soil retention, biodiversity, grain production, water supply and leisure entertainment for humankind. However, excessive and unreasonable human ...
Abstract: The city-encircling forest belt in Guiyang controls and regulates the ecological environment of the urban area. With development of urbanization construction recent years, this forest belt is suffering from damage to varied degrees. To protect the existing resources of the urban forest, it is necess...
Abstract: Thirty kinds of karst peak forest plants in the Shijiao village,Jiulong town,Yingde City, Guangdong Province(N24°08.113′,E112°51.855′, altitude, 121 m,height of hill 80 m)were selected as the object of quantitative analysis to reveal their adaptation to the karst soil environment rich in calcium. Th...
Abstract: In order to clarify the influence of leisure agriculture tourism activity, which is booming in eastern Sichuan, on the soil ecological environment and provide a scientific basis for assessing the impact of agricultural tourism activity on the environment in the future. This paper takes the soil samp...
Abstract: The objective of the paper is to set up an evaluation index for coordinating natural conservation with socio-economic development through assessing landscape conservation and analyzing effect of landscape utilization on the social sustainable development for the improvement of landscape protection. ...
Abstract: The Dabashan National Geological Park hosts various types of karst landscapes and complete composition systems, of which the development and distribution are obviously controlled by the structure. This paper presents the features of karst landscapes of this park and studies the control of neotectoni...
Abstract: Based on the ecological security theory, this paper makes a dynamic evaluation of ecological and analysis of obstacle factors in karst tourist destinations. Using the PSR model, an index system for evaluation of ecological security in karst tourist destinations is established. Using the fuzzy synthe...
Abstract: Under condition of hypoxia, sulfate sulfur is reduced to sulfide sulfur in the process of carbonate deposition. Part of the sulfide is combined with organic to generate complicated organic sulfur while the majority of sulfide with metal ions to form sulfide precipitation. However, the sulfide precip...
Abstract: The objects of this paper is to determine the test conditions and influencing factors in online-phosphoric acid method by using Gas Bench II-IRMS for carbon isotopes of dissolved inorganic carbon compounds in water samples. The equilibrium time, chromatographic column, sample condition, sample volum...
