Abstract

Abstract

In view of the evolution history of ecology and environtment in karst area of sourthwest China and the challenges under the new situation,in this paper, the results of observation experiments on vegetation,hydrology,soil and dissolution test in three stages of vegetation degradation,artificial restoration and natural succession are systematically summarized, the development and existing problems of karst eco-hydrological model are expounded.The structure and composition of the atmosphere-vegetation-soil-rock system and the concept of co-evolution in karst area are put forward based on the scientific system thinking of the earth critical zones and the multidisciplinary comprehensive research paradigm.The research approaches of the co-evolution of eco-hydrology and carbon,water,and calcium cycles are discussed from the perspective of interdisciplinary,systematic observation and model intergration.Based on this,this paper puts forward suggestions to promote the development of karst eco-hydrology,so as to provide scientific support for the restoration of ecology and environment in karst area under the situation of global climate change and green development.
