Table 1. List of caves with their characteristics, and administrative and geographic location in Georgia. Cave characteristics according to Tatashidze et al. (2009) and Tsikarishvili & Bolashvili (2013). Names of tourist caves are bolded. Abbreviations: AK = Askhi karst massif; Ch = Chiatura; EE = entrance elevation; et = eutrophic; IM = Imereti; Kg = Kharagauli; Kh = Khoni; Ma = Martvili; mt = mesotrophic; OP = Odishi Plateau; ot = oligotrophic; SAM = Samegrelo; ST = Sataplia-Tskaltubo; Ts = Tskaltubo; X = site of air temperature measurements in caves is unclear; Y = elevation between the entrance and the deepest site of the cave; ZI = Zemo-Imereti Plateau; * trophic level estimation is based on presence of organic material in internal parts of the cave; – = not measured.
