Karst ecosystems are important to several billion people, so it is necessary to accurately
diagnose and evaluate the health of these ecosystems for socioeconomic development; …

Vegetation changes in karst areas are controlled by the soil formation rate (SFR) and soil
moisture (SM). However, little is known about their thresholds and global control patterns. To …

Soil contamination with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) has been a matter of great concern
across China, but the karst regions of southwest China, with one of the three largest karst …

Understanding the spatial distribution pattern and driving factors behind ecosystem health is
beneficial to ecosystem management and restoration. However, the literature shows little in …

This study uses a composite fingerprinting technique, supported by 137 Cs and 210 Pb ex
chronologies, to determine the proportion of sediment derived from karst (limestone) and …

The formation of soil in karst ecosystem has always been a scientific problem of great
concern to human beings. Algae can grow on the exposed and non-nutrition carbonate …

Various microtopographical features are formed by exposed bedrock and surrounding soil in
karst rocky desertification areas. These microtopographical features significantly change the …

After the satellite's advent, whose jobs were to image the surface of the earth, big data of
imaging data of the land surface was made available to researchers in various sciences to …

Karstification can reduce the CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere/soil. Accurate estimation
of karst carbon sinks is crucial for the study of global climate change. In this study, the Lijiang …

Bicarbonate and carbon dioxide are two inorganic carbon sources that can be used by
plants. The mutual transformation of the two inorganic carbon sources can be catalyzed by …
