Outlining the principles of carbonate rocks denudation rate – Kupa River catchment case study

The main karstification processes are affected by the power of water and climate conditions. By gaining better understanding of denudation process as a main form of mechanical wear, the analyses chemical equilibrium and chemical kinetics of carbonate rock dissolution has greatly improved during last 50 years. However, natural conditions of rock exposure, as combination of climate, altitude, soil, vegetation, karst morphology, humidity, lithology, and surface morphology factors, have to be observed in natural environment. Within Interreg CAMARO-D project, part of the Kupa River catchment located in northern karstic part of Croatia, was chosen as case study area in which karst denudation rate will be observed on standard carbonate tablets.
