摘要
The past environmental information recorded in speleothems has become the focus of short-term and high resolution study of the global changes. Dripping water in cave, as the medium of stalagmite formation, is a proxy responding to rapid change of climatic environment. The changes in composition, drop rate, and amount of the dripping water directly influence the growth rate of stalagmites and to certain extent the environmental information included in it. It is the bridge between the environmental change in the earth’s surface and the growth of stalagmites in cave. In this regard, the study of dripping water in cave has become a popular subject for the study of forming mechanism of stalagmites and paleo-climatic reconstruction.
