A hypothetical partial pressure of CO2 that has participated in limestone dissolution, PCO2(H)=10-1.53±0.04, was calculated from the dripwater chemistry. The value significantly exceeds the partial pressures generally measured in relevant shallow karst soils, PCO2(soil)=10-2.72±0.02. This finding may have important implications for karst/cave conservation and paleoenvironmental reconstructions.</p><p>Keywords: cave, carbon dioxide, dripwater, hydrogeochemistry,<br />hypothetical partial pressure, karst processes, karstification model.<br /><br /></p>}, number={1}, journal={Acta Carsologica}, author={Faimon, Jiří and Ličbinská, Monika and Zajíček, Petr and Sracek, Ondra}, year={2012}, month={May} }
