RT Journal Article T1 Determinación experimental del contenido en CO2 del suelo sobre una cavidad kárstica en clima mediterráneo (Cueva de Nerja, Málaga) T1 Experimental survey of soil CO2 content over a karstic cave in mediterranean climate A1 Benavente Herrera, José A1 El Mabrouki, K.

A1 Carrasco Cantos, Francisco AB The CO2 content and the temperature of the air have been measured within the scarce soil (although withrelatively high organic matter concentration) which partially covers the carbonate outcrops over the NerjaCave (Málaga). General yearly average values of around 850 ppm and 25 ºC have been identified, bothusing continuous recording devices and separated measures with portable equipment.Temperature evolution closely follows that of the outside atmosphere. Spatial variations in CO2 contentsare related with the vegetal cover and with the soil depth. Seasonal variations are important, with amaximum of more than 1000 ppm in May (main vegetation development) and minimum (around 350-500) in December. Daily oscillations have also been identified, ranging up to more than 600 ppm in theperiod of maximum CO2 production. These results agree with estimates based in hydrogeochemicalmodelling as well as in the TOC content of drip water to the cave PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 2005 FD 2005 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8654 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8654 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 2 jun 2026
