Karst Systems deal with the question of how the subsurface drainage
system, typical of Karst areas develops from its initial state to
maturity. Equal attention is given to physical, chemical and geological
conditions which determine karstification. The reader will find
discussions of mass transport, chemical kinetics, hydrodynamics of
fluxes, and the role of dissolution and precipitation of Calcite as they
occur in experiments and natural environments. It offers a wealth of
information on a complex natural system to hydrologists, hydrochemists,
geologists and geographers.
