西南喀斯特区土层浅薄, 成土速率低等特点决定了其允许土壤流失量小, 土壤一旦流失,
极难恢复, 土壤侵蚀及其造成的石漠化现象已成为制约该区可持续发展最严重的生态环境问题 …

Secondary vegetation succession can alter soil functions and quality. However, data on
changes to soil quality at different stages of vegetation succession in karst areas of …

High discharge associated with rainfall events causes rapid transport of nutrients to
drainage systems in karst terrain. The objective of this study was to understand nitrate …

Due to the characteristics of the lithology and the complexity of the geomorphology, the karst
areas of Southwest China are experiencing severe soil erosion. Knowledge of the effects of …

Abstract Karst landscapes cover 7–12% of Earth's continental area, and approximately 25%
of the world's population partially or completely relies on drinking water from karst aquifers …

The source and transport processes of suspended sediment are issues that require further
study. The complex relationship between the integrated surface characteristics and the …

Identifying the impacts of climatic factors on runoff change has become a central topic in
climate and hydrology research. This issue, however, has received minimal attention in karst …

As one of the largest continuous karst areas in the world, southwest China is experiencing a
lack of surface water resources which have negative impacts on the development of the …

Special hydrological structures coupled with rainfall and agricultural activities have great
impacts on water quality in karst areas. High-frequency hydro-chemical, dual nitrate isotopes …

The variation in monthly sediment load is greatly influenced by climate and vegetation
changes which are generally coupled and interconnected. However, few studies have …
