Karst could be defined as
terrain with special land forms and unusual drainage characteristics,
which develop as a result of the dissolution of soluble rocks,
notably carbonate rocks such as limestone, dolomite or marble.
Karst Resources
refer to all components of the karst
system.
These include all solutional features, epikarst, insurgences and
resurgences,
both physical and biological components, etc. (Baichtal/Blackwell)
