Summary: The appearance and spatial distribution of the solution dolines of the temperate karsts are closely related to the climatic conditions of the temperate zone and its ecological characteristics. The basis of the classical geomorphological classification of dolines was the characteristic geological condition and the resulting form. Doline formation is shaped by the processes of complex geoecological factors (rock, climate, water, soil, vegetation). Dolines are vulnerable spots in karst areas. The environmental load originating from anthropogenic utilization endangers the natural course of corrosion and the quality of the non-renewable resources of karsts as well as karst ecosystem services, therefore, a complex assessment is necessary for revealing the changes. The study investigates the affect of some important geoecological parameters on the development of solution dolines.


Key words: karst dolines, geoecology, climate, soil, biogenic environment of dolines
