【摘要】 <正> 地貌分类在地貌研究中占有重要的地位,它是地貌制图学中一个主要的组成部分,也是研究地貌演化发育规律与分布特征的重要方法。因此,科学的、客观的和系统的地貌分类具有普遍的意义。我国岩溶区域广阔,总面积为344.3万平方公里,仅裸露型岩溶就有206万平方公里,是世界上岩溶面积最大的国家之一,尤以热带、亚热带岩溶著称。其分布之广,面积之大,可谓世界之最;类型复杂多样,也为世界所罕见。国外的许多岩溶地貌学家,都对中国南方的岩溶峰林地貌显示出极大的兴趣,对我国岩溶地貌研究寄以极大的期望,认为“中国南部的岩溶可能变成世界性的岩溶模式”。他们相信,随着对中国南部岩溶愈来愈深入的研究,某些重要的岩溶问题——包括理论上的和实际应用上的问题,将能得到解决。更多还原

【Abstract】 In order to meet the requirements of geomorphological mapping on different scales, the types of tropical and subtropical karst features in South China are grouped into three classes. The first is a causal classification according to the climatic conditions under which certain types of karst features are formed, and these types can be further divided into several subclasses on the basis of dominative agents and lithological characters of the host rocks. The second is a morphological classification based on the characteristics of the morphologic combination. The third includes various individual karst forms.The simplified classification of tropical karst geomorphological types is tabulated as follows.更多还原
