Facts
Why OpenThe atlas own cited source for Karstification states only a qualitative, condition-dependent account of carbonate dissolution and gives no duration or rate figure for how long the process takes to shape a landscape, because the rate depends heavily on rock solubility, climate and water flow, which the source does not quantify. 1 What Would ResolveA hydrogeology or karst geomorphology study measuring carbonate dissolution rates for named lithologies under defined climate and flow conditions, translated into an estimated timescale for landform development, would give this atlas a real figure instead of an unknown Status. 1 Discipline Needed Open Question
