Abstract

Abstract

The core of the theory of karst dynamics is the carbon-water-calcium cycle, which emphasizes the systematic thinking and global view, and puts forward the conceptual model, structure and function of the karst dynamic system. The new growing point of discipline resulted from karst dynamics research has a milestone significance for the formation and development of modern karst science. The concept of "karst feature complex" has laid a complete method system for the study of karst heterogeneity, classification of karst types and formation environment. The initiation study of karst carbon cycle and carbon sink effects has successfully introduced karstology study into the field of global change, which opens a window for recognizing the role of karst processes in the global carbon cycle. Moreover, extending the study of karst geochemistry to the integration of inorganic and organic processes provides a clearer idea and method for the restoration and protection of fragile karst environment. The implementation of karst IGCP project reflects the guiding significance of karst dynamics theory for the establishment of International Karst Research Center under the auspices of UNESCO, meanwhile, karst dynamics theory has laid a solid theoretical and method foundation for us to consciously integrate into the national "Belt and Road" initiative, ecological civilization development strategy and the goals of "double carbon".
