Understanding the complex structure of karst networks is a challenge. In this work, we characterize the fractal properties of some of the largest coastal karst network systems in the world. They are located near the town of Tulum (Quintana Roo, Mexico). Their fractal dimension df , conductivity exponent μ̃ and walk dimension dw are estimated using real space renormalization and numerical simulat...

The special above-ground and underground dual structure in the karst area makes capacity of surface water storage this poor. In water-limited ecosystems, soil moisture is key to survival plants. Influenced by rainfall texture, variation characteristics different vegetation types are slope land. Many researchers use simulation experiments study influence movement processes under patterns, but th...

[1] Simple mathematical models often allow an intuitive grasp of the function of physical systems. We develop a mathematical framework to investigate reactive or dissipative transport processes within karst conduits. Specifically, we note that for processes that occur within a characteristic timescale, advection along the conduit produces a characteristic process length scale. We calculate char...

The purpose of this study was to identify the influence karst landscape on sustainable development Bela krajina region, southeast Slovenia. In order better understand we used three approaches: (1) Karst Disturbance Index, (2) a quantitative analysis by using indicators and (3) qualitative structured interviews. Index classified degree disturbance in as low. According found differences structure...
