In-Depth Information
Due to limited data, the comparison and analysis of karst
landform and karst cave evolution were not discussed in this
paper. The result would be sketchy only according to the
macro-regional geological history, palaeogeography and
palaeoclimatic changes. The evolutionary history and
developed ages of different karst landforms and caves in
China should be studied in detail in the future.
This subdivision of karst into eight regions provides a tem-
plate to rationally recognizing and allocating national geoparks.
The karst landforms are both a natural element and a
natural resource. The geomorphologic regionalization of the
karst landforms provides a way to an in-depth understanding
of the landforms structure and evolution, and the necessary
regional information for agricultural production, resource
utilization and environmental protection, and national
economy development. It is important not only for China but
also as a model of methods and approaches for African
countries and elsewhere globally.
