Constrains of Lithological Background of Carbonate Rock on Spatio-Temporal Evolution of
In order to study the effect of lithological background of carbonate rock on spatio-temporal evolution of karst rocky desertification (RD) land, 1∶100 000 scale digital RD distribution maps of Guizhou in 1986, 1995 and 2000 were obtained by RS, GIS and GPS (3S) technology and user-computer interactive interpreting method from Landsat remote sensing images. On the basis of spatial analysis and statistics, in association with digital-distribution map of carbonate rock assemblages’ type, the findings were described in this paper. In conclusion, the evolution process of RD land is constrained obviously by lithological background of carbonate rock.
