Abstract: Hydrochemistry coupled with stable isotopes is widely used in the research of karst water systems,especially in terms of interpretation of hydrogeochemical processes,constraints on the recharge,tracing of solutes migration and evaluation of the regeneration capacity of karst water. This paper review...
Abstract: Based on an 1∶50,000 hydrogeological survey, this work details the hydrogeological conditions of the eastern Laiwu basin, Shandong Province. The groundwater in this area is divided into four types, pore water in loose rocks, karsticfissure water in carbonate rocks, fissure-pore water in clastic rock...
Abstract: Hydrochemistry and isotopes can be used to study the recharge and discharge characteristics of groundwater and make up for the shortcomings of other methods. As a typical karst area in north China, there are many springs in Jinan city. The research on the source of groundwater in this area can provi...
Abstract: The purpose of this work was to clarify hydraulic linkage between every cave and structural characteristics of the karst groundwater system beneath Jinfoshan, Nanchuan district,Chongqing City. Multiple-element tracer tests were conducted in December 2016,in which the Rhodamine B was used as the trac...
Abstract: The existence of karst underground rivers seriously affect the general applicability of Soil and Water Assessment Tools (SWAT) in karst areas. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a method based on Digital Elevation Model (DEM) preprocessing combined with SWAT watershed automatic recognition f...
Abstract: There are large quantity of wetlands over the karst areas in southwestern China. Among them, the Huixian karst wetland is one of the largest karst wetlands, a largest natural wetland developed in the area with low-altitude and mid-latitude in the tropical and subtropical region. This wetland has pla...
Abstract: Soil respiration is the main process of soil carbon emission and an important factor affecting the dynamic change of soil carbon pool and atmospheric carbon pool. The amount of soil respiration determines the source and sink of soil carbon pool to a certain extent. It is of great significance to und...
Abstract: The national key ecological function areas for karst rocky desertification prevention and control in Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou are the important ecological regions where development is restricted at the national level. These areas host special ecological systems dominated by karst environments. Of...
Abstract: In karst areas, soil is generally shallow and discontinuous, where unevenly distributed soil beds and bedrock in soil profiles with different architectures. Whether their moisture-retaining and transmissibility properties are variable remains unclear. To address this issue, the BEST single-ring infi...
Abstract: Chongqing is located in southwest China, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, with a total karst area of 32,680 km2, accounting for 39.7% of the city’s land area. Due to its poor internal environmental stability, the area has serious ecological problems such as soil erosion and rocky desertificat...
Abstract: It is of great significance to the protection of water resource security in karst areas by the analysis of spatio-temporal evolution of water resource security under the climate change. Using GA-BP neural network model, the spatial differentiation of water resource security in Guizhou Province was e...
Abstract: Under the background of global warming,there are significant regional differences in temperature change. It is very important for ecological security and sustainable development to recognize the characteristics of regional temperature changes. This work builds on CRU,MODIS remote sensing data and ob...
Abstract: Around the Jibi village southwest of the Luxi fault-depression basin, carbonate is widely distributed with well developed highly uneven karst. The surface is dominated by dissolution cracks and gullies with numerous mosore and some karst wells, one of which exposes as a big spring at the Jibi villag...
Abstract: Research on characteristics of the Jinci fault and its controlling effect on karst groundwater in the Jinci spring watershed can facilitate analysis of the migration regularity of karst groundwater in the Jinci spring region. This work conducted such research by surveys using geophysical methods inc...
Abstract: This study aims at the actual needs of the survey, design and construction of the Ya’an-Linzhi section of Sichuan-Tibet railway. Based on remote sensing geology and hydrogeology, and by using the method human-computer interaction interpretation combined with automatic extraction of remote sensing in...
Abstract: The purpose of this work is to obtain and analyze the spatial distribution characteristics of carbonate rocks in the southern Guizhou area and their expressions on remote sensing images. The data used include the Landsat8 satellite image, a geological map of scale 1∶50 million, carbonate rock distri...
Abstract: Karst landforms are widely distributed throughout the world,creating a variety of terrains and natural landscapes. In the border areas between Hunan, Guizhou,and Hubei provinces and Chongqing City,China,There exist special ornamental karst landforms, of which the morphological characteristics are di...
Abstract: The comparative analysis between the projected and the perceived image of show cave has a crucial influence on promoting the image construction, enhancing the cave’s attraction to tourist and market competitivenes,as all of these have an impact on the tourist’s decision making prior to being on trav...
