Cover Story: The carbon balance in karst ecosystems or cave conservation requires a comprehensive understanding of the drivers and mechanisms involved in CO2 dynamics. This study focuses on diphasic infiltration in the double-membrane formed by soil and rock as the key factor controlling the thermal response and the gaseous transfer in a cave atmosphere. The study was conducted in a rock-art cave (Ardales, south Spain) and illustrates how the local topography of the karstified outcrop in relation to the cave geomorphology determines its seasonal functionality as an emitter or store of gases, in addition to the prominent gas entrapment in some galleries that is crucial to the protection of the subterranean cultural heritage.
