The study of recent destructive processes in the Moravian Karst caves (Czech republic)
Original language description
This work tried to decide whether an occasionally observed falling of straw stalactites in the Moravian Karst caves is caused by a hypothetical chemical corrosion. The straw stalactite wall was found to be formed by three calcite layers. The middle layer(a stalactite skeleton) was typically cracked in agreement with calcite cleavage. Some impact of chemical corrosion was positively identified on the outer side of straw stalactite walls. Any corrosion of the inner wall of stalactite channel was not explicitly proved. This is consistent with the supersaturation of the majority of monitored dripping waters with respect to calcite (SI=0.2 to 1.2). However, the finding of unsaturated dripping water in the Punkevní Caves (SI=-0.8 to -0.3) did not allow to exclude the chemical corrosion definitively. The seasonal increase of cave CO2-concentrations (up to 1 vol.
