characteristics of karst, the investigated areas and the applied
methods. The covered karsts are categorized according to the
quality and development of the superficial deposit and its
geomorphological position and environment. The morphology,
development, functioning, sediment development and the
transformation of the karst features are presented. The
relationship between the covered karst formation and climate is
analyzed; including the covered karst formation of the tundra
