It covers the speleogenesis, geology, vegetation, fauna, hydrogeology, geomorphology, and anthropogenic use of the Lagoa Santa Karst and is the first English-language book on this major karst area.. .The area, which has been at the heart of the debate on the origin and age of human colonization in the Americas, is characterized by a classical and scenic karst landscape with limestone cliffs, karst lakes and karst plains, in addition to numerous solution dolines. More than 1,000 caves have been documented in the area, many with significant archeological and paleontological value. Despite its great importance, the Lagoa Santa Karst faces severe environmental threats due to limestone mining and the expansion of the metropolis of Belo Horizonte and its surrounding towns. The growing recognition of the area’s remarkable significance has led to increasing concern, and a number of protected areas have now been established, improving the conservation status of this landmark karst area.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Lagoa Santa Karst; Brazilian Caves; Cave Archaeology; Cave Palaeontology; Cave Management; hydrogeology | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-35940-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-35942-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-35940-9Series ISSN 2364-4591 Series E-ISSN 2364-4605 | | issn_series | 2364-4591 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
