APPROACH TO KARST SOLUTION PROCESS RESPONSES ON CLIMATE

摘要

Based upon the studies of solutional rates with environment from South China to North China over a range of about 30 。 latitude, this paper discusses some of the consequence with equations. The response model shows that the precipitation is the most important factor influencing the rate of solutional denudation except the lithology, the relief etc., but it is an integrational action on the solution process; at the same time, temperature acts as a threshold in bringing the precipitation into play. These suggest that firstly, the solutional denudation process is a comprehensive response to the multiple factors; secondly, karst solution is a complex response process to the climate, and as an integrated exogenic process under the bioclimate.
