This study deals with δ13C variation in karst soil system of Yaji Karst Experiment Site, Guilin, a typical region of humid subtropical karst formations. Samples of near ground air, plant tissue, soil and water (soil ...
The acids accumulating in soils and controlling the solution of carbonates including the predominant CO2, mostly derive from three processes: i) root respiration of higher plants; ii) decomposition of soil organic mat...

Conduit flow is a special geomorphologic and hydrological phenomenon in karst area. Houzhai River drainage basin in Puding, Guizhou Province is a large-scale test field in the main and broad karst area in the southern...
THE production of C02 in the soil results from the oxidation of soil organic matter by heterotrophic microorganisms and by the respiration of plant roots. The release of C02 from the soil is a ma...
THE stable carbon isotopic composition of soil organic carbon is a powerful tool for discussing the source ofsoil CO2 and the relationship of CO2 source and sink between soil CO2 and a...
THE seasonal variance of soil CO2 concentration with depth in soil profile was widely studied. Few similarresearches on this topic have been done in karst area which comprises 15% global terrestrial area. I...
TRACE element concentrations in river water are controlled by a number of factors, such as lithology,weathering processes or adsorption. Further investigations on trace elements, especially heavy andtransition metals,...
GEOCHEMICAL studies of trace elements, especially heavy metal elements in river water will provide thegrounds for the assessment of the influence of human activities on the environment. At present, the stud- ies of wa...
