- •
We perform a rock tablets experiment to measure subsurface weathering of carbonates.
- •
Physical and chemical weathering account for denudation of karst regions.
- •
Thermal and moisture cycles cause enhanced physical weathering of carbonate rocks.
- •
Higher subsurface weathering of carbonates occurs during wet and cold periods.
- •
In the studied region unroofed caves are unlikely to result from denudation.
