Speleothem destruction in the caves of the Moravian Karst (Czech Republic)
Original language description
An extensive damage of speleothem (corrosion, breaking and falling of straw stalactites) was studied in the caves of the Moravian Karst. Condensation water was identified as a main agent of speleothem corrosion. An extent of corruption depends on (1) cave microclimatology (temperature/pressure gradient, relative humidity, cave geometry) and (2) human impact (changes in cave microclimatology: new entrances for visitors, new opening at explorations, and breathed water vapor by visitors). A mechanical damage was found to be major agent of straw stalactite falling. It is probably a result of vibrations of (1) natural (tectonic moving) and (2) anthropogenic (building works, traffics) origin. In addition, a tension stemming from a re-crystallization of strawstalactite calcite wall is studied.
