生态水文学可以定义为在不同时空尺度上整合水文和生物过程的科学。岩溶中地下水和地表水的循环和储存之间存在着强烈而直接的相互作用。这些通量反过来影响这些栖息地中生物的空间分布。由于岩溶地区水的形态、储存和循环与其他更均质、各向同性的地形有显着不同，岩溶生态水文学应发展独创的方法和途径。同时，传统方法也非常有用。大型喀斯特地下地貌格局的规模和种类繁多，从几米长或几米深到很大，最深的深度超过1公里，长度超过数百公里。本文特别关注喀斯特地下特征（洞穴、坑、管道等）的生态水文功能，它们在（1）水循环和储存的水文和水文地质以及（2）许多珍稀濒危物种的生态学中发挥着至关重要的双重作用。形态、水文、水文地质和气候的差异导致了一系列不同的环境，为不同物种的共存提供了机会。讨论了表层岩溶和包气带以及洞穴在生态水文过程中的作用。分析了洪水因子在岩溶生态中的重要性。本文的目的是推动不同学科之间的讨论，以促进和发展喀斯特生态水文学的概念框架。
Ecohydrology can be defined as the science of integrating hydrological and biological processes over varied spatial and temporal scales. There exists in karst a strong and direct interaction between the circulation and storage of groundwater and surface water. These fluxes in turn affect the spatial distribution of organisms in these habitats. Because of the fact that the appearance, storage and circulation of water in karstified areas is significantly different from other more homogenous and isotropic terrains, karst ecohydrology should develop original methods and approaches. At the same time, traditional approaches are also very useful. Large karst underground geomorphological patterns occur in many sizes and varieties, ranging from a few meters long or deep to very large, the deepest being deeper than 1 km and longer than hundreds of kilometres. In this article, special attention is paid to ecohydrological functions of karst underground features (caves, pits, conduits, etc.), which play a crucial dual role in (1) hydrology and hydrogeology of water circulation and storage and (2) ecology of many rare and endangered species. Differences in morphology, hydrology, hydrogeology and climate have resulted in a range of different environments, which provide the opportunity for the coexistence of different species. The role of the epikarst and vadose zones, as well as caves in ecohydrological processes, is discussed. The importance of the flood factor in karst ecology is analysed. The aim of this article is to move forward the discussion among different disciplines to promote and develop a conceptual framework for karst ecohydrology.
