Karst dolines provide diverse microhabitats for different functional groups in multiple phyla
Fine-scale topographic complexity creates important microclimates that can facilitate species
to grow outside their main distributional range and increase biodiversity locally. Enclosed …

Retreat and extinction of the Late Pleistocene cave bear (Ursus spelaeus sensu lato)
The cave bear (Ursus spelaeus sensu lato) is a typical representative of Pleistocene
megafauna which became extinct at the end of the Last Glacial. Detailed knowledge of cave …

Large-and small-scale environmental factors drive distributions of cool-adapted plants in karstic microrefugia
Background and aims Dolines are small-to large-sized bowl-shaped depressions of karst
surfaces. They may constitute important microrefugia, as thermal inversion often maintains …

Bryophyte diversity in karst sinkholes afected by diferent degrees of human disturbance
R Liu, Z Zhang, J Shen, Z Wang - Acta Societatis Botanicorum …, 2019 - agro.icm.edu.pl
The diversity of bryophytes in karst sinkholes has received little attention, and these habitats
probably play a crucial role as refugia. In this study, bryophyte diversity affected by different …
