Domain-specific

• Karst
  • The Classical Karst — the Kras (Carso) plateau straddling Slovenia and Italy — is the landscape that gave the phenomenon its name and remains its type locality

    This sourceGams traces the term: the limestone region northeast of the Bay of Trieste is 'kras' in Slovenian, 'karst' in German and 'carso' in Italian, from a pre-Indo-European root karra, 'stony', and in the nineteenth century that regional name 'came to be adopted as the generic name for all dissolutional landscapes and hydrogeological systems'.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
