Abstract Karst regions offer a variety of natural resources such as freshwater and biodiversity, and many cultural resources. The World Karst Aquifer Map (WOKAM) is the first detailed and complete global geodatabase concerning the distribution of karstifiable rocks (carbonates and evaporites) representing potential karst aquifers. This study presents a statistical evaluation of WOKAM, focusing entirely on karst in carbonate rocks and addressing four main aspects: (1) global occurrence and geographic distribution of karst; (2) karst in various topographic settings and coastal areas; (3) karst in different climatic zones; and (4) populations living on karst. According to the analysis, 15.2% of the global ice-free continental surface is characterized by the presence of karstifiable carbonate rock. The largest percentage is in Europe (21.8%); the largest absolute area occurs in Asia (8.35 million km 2 ). Globally, 31.1% of all surface exposures of carbonate rocks occur in plains, 28.1% in hills and 40.8% in mountains, and 151,400 km or 15.7% of marine coastlines are characterized by carbonate rocks. About 34.2% of all carbonate rocks occur in arid climates, followed by 28.2% in cold and 15.9% in temperate climates, whereas only 13.1 and 8.6% occur in tropical and polar climates, respectively. Globally, 1.18 billion people (16.5% of the global population) live on karst. The highest absolute number occurs in Asia (661.7 million), whereas the highest percentages are in Europe (25.3%) and North America (23.5%). These results demonstrate the global importance of karst and serve as a basis for further research and international water management strategies.

Karstregionen beinhalten eine Vielzahl natürlicher Ressourcen, wie Süßwasser und Biodiversität, sowie zahlreiche kulturelle und historische Ressourcen. Die Welt-Karstaquifer-Karte (WOKAM) ist die erste detaillierte und vollständige globale Datenbasis über die Verbreitung von verkarstungsfähigen Gesteinen (Carbonate und Evaporite), welche potentielle Karstaquifere darstellen. Diese Studie präsentiert eine statistische Auswertung von WOKAM, mit dem Fokus auf Karst in Carbonatgesteinen, und adressiert vier wesentliche Aspekte: (i) globales Vorkommen und geografische Verteilung von Karst; (ii) Karst in verschiedenen topografischen Settings und in Küstengebieten; (iii) Karst in verschiedenen Klimazonen; und (iv) Bevölkerung in Karstgebieten. Die Analyse ergibt, dass 15,2 % der globalen, eisfreien Kontinentalfläche durch Carbonatgesteine charakterisiert sind. Der höchste prozentuale Anteil tritt in Europa auf (21,8 %); die größte absolute Fläche in Asien (8,35 Mio. km²). Weltweit treten 31,1 % aller anstehenden Carbonatgesteine in Ebenen auf, 28,1 % im Hügelland und 40,8 % in Gebirgen; 151,400 km oder 15,7 % der globalen marinen Küstenlinie wird von Carbonatgesteinen geprägt. Etwa 34,2 % aller Carbonatgesteine kommen im ariden Klima vor, gefolgt von 28,2 % in kalten und 15,9 % in gemäßigten Klimaten, während nur 13,1 % bzw. 8,6 % im tropischen bzw. polaren Klima anzutreffen sind. Global leben etwa 1,18 Milliarden Menschen (16,5 % der Weltbevölkerung) in Karstgebieten. Die höchste absolute Anzahl wurde in Asien ermittelt (661,7 Mio.), während die höchsten prozentualen Anteile in Europa (25,3 %) und Nordamerika (23,5 %) auftreten.

Las regiones kársticas ofrecen una variedad de recursos naturales, como agua dulce y biodiversidad, y muchos recursos culturales. El Mapa Mundial de Acuíferos Kársticos (WOKAM) es la primera base de datos geológicos mundial detallada y completa sobre la distribución de las rocas kársticas (carbonatos y evaporitas) que representan potenciales acuíferos kársticos. Este estudio presenta una evaluación estadística de WOKAM, centrada enteramente en el karst en las rocas carbonatadas y que aborda cuatro aspectos principales: (1) presencia mundial y distribución geográfica del karst; (2) el karst en diversos entornos topográficos y zonas costeras; (3) el karst en diferentes zonas climáticas; y (4) las poblaciones que viven en el karst. Según el análisis, el 15.2% de la superficie continental mundial libre de hielo se caracteriza por la presencia de roca carbonatadas kársticas. El mayor porcentaje se localiza en Europa (21.8%); la mayor superficie absoluta se encuentra en Asia (8.35 millones de km 2 ). A nivel mundial, el 31.1% de todas las exposiciones de superficie de rocas carbonatadas se dan en llanuras, el 28.1% en colinas y el 40.8% en montañas, y 151,400 km o el 15.7% de las costas marinas se caracterizan por rocas carbonatadas. Alrededor del 34.2% de todas las rocas carbonatadas se encuentran en climas áridos, seguidos del 28.2% en climas fríos y el 15.9% en climas templados, mientras que sólo el 13.1 y el 8.6% se encuentran en climas tropicales y polares, respectivamente. A nivel mundial, 1.180 millones de personas (16,5% de la población mundial) viven en el karst. La cifra absoluta más elevada se da en Asia (661.7 millones), mientras que los porcentajes más altos se dan en Europa (25.3%) y América del Norte (23.5%). Estos resultados demuestran la importancia mundial del karst y sirven de base para nuevas investigaciones y estrategias internacionales de gestión de los recursos hídricos. Les régions karstiques offrent une variété de ressources naturelles, telles que l’eau douce et la biodiversité, ainsi que de nombreuses ressources culturelles. La carte mondiale des aquifères karstiques (WOKAM) est. la première base de données géologiques mondiale détaillée et complète concernant la répartition des roches karstifiables (carbonates et évaporites) représentant les aquifères karstiques potentiels. Cette étude présente une évaluation statistique de WOKAM, entièrement axée sur le karst dans les roches carbonatées et abordant quatre aspects principaux: (1) la présence mondiale et la distribution géographique du karst; (2) le karst dans divers contextes topographiques et dans les zones côtières; (3) le karst dans différentes zones climatiques; et (4) les populations vivant sur le karst. Selon l’analyse, 15.2% de la surface continentale libre de glace dans le monde est. caractérisée par la présence de roches carbonatées karstifiables. Le plus grand pourcentage se trouve en Europe (21.8%); la plus grande superficie absolue se trouve en Asie (8.35 millions de km 2 ). À l’échelle mondiale, 31.1% de toutes les expositions de surface des roches carbonatées se trouvent dans les plaines, 28.1% dans les collines et 40.8% dans les montagnes, et 151,400 km ou 15.7% des côtes marines sont caractérisées par des roches carbonatées. Environ 34.2% de toutes les roches carbonatées se trouvent sous les climats arides, suivies par 28.2% sous les climats froids et 15.9% sous les climats tempérés, alors que seulement 13.1 et 8.6% se trouvent sous les climats tropicaux et polaires, respectivement. À l’échelle mondiale, 1.18 milliard de personnes (16.5% de la population mondiale) vivent sur le karst. Le nombre absolu le plus élevé se trouve en Asie (661.7 millions), tandis que les pourcentages les plus élevés se trouvent en Europe (25.3%) et en Amérique du Nord (23,5%). Ces résultats démontrent l’importance mondiale du karst et servent de base à la poursuite des recherches et aux stratégies internationales de gestion de l’eau. Karstne oblasti karakteriše prisustvo raznovrsnih prirodnih resursa, kvalitetnih voda i predstavnika biodiverziteta, kao i objekata kulturne vrednosti. Svetska karta karstnih izdani (akvifera) proizašla iz projekta WOKAM, sadrži prvu kompletiranu bazu geo-podataka, koja uključuje rasprostranjenje karbonatnih stena (karbonati i evaporiti) koji predstavljaju i potencijalne karstne izdani. Ovaj rad prikazuje statističke podatke WOKAM baze, fokusirane na četiri glavna aspekta u vezi sa karbonatnim stenama: (1) glavne pojave i geografsko rasprostranjenje karsta; (2) karst u različitim orografskim i primorskim oblastima; (3) karst u različitim klimatskim zonama; (4) stanovništvo koje naseljava karstne oblasti. Prema ovim analizama, 15.2% površine svih kontinenata, izvan područja stalnog leda, karakteriše prisustvo karstifikovanih karbonatnih stena. Najveći procenat učešća karsta je u Evropi (21.8%), dok su najveće površine pod karstom u Aziji (8.35 milion km 2 ). Na globalnom nivou, 31.1% karbonatnih stena nalazi se u ravnicama, 28.1% je u brdskim, a 40.8% u planinskim oblastima. Oko 151,400 km ili 15.7% morskih obala karakteriše prisustvo karbonatnih stena. Oko 34.2% svih karbonatnih stena nalazi se u oblastima sa aridnom klimom, dok je 28.2% u oblastima hladnih, i 15.9% toplih klimatskih pojaseva. Samo 13.1% karsta nalazi se u tropskim, odnosno 8.6% u polarnim oblastima. Oko 1.18 milijardi ljudi (16.5% svetske populacije) živi na karstu. Najveći broj je u Aziji (661.7 milion), dok je procentualno najveća zastupljenost u Evropi (25.3%) i Severnoj Americi (23.5%). Ovi rezultati ukazuju na globalni značaj karsta i služe kao osnova za buduća istraživanja i razvoj medjunarodne strategije vodnog menadžmenta.
