Etymology: German, from the Yugoslavian territory Krs; type locality, a limestone plateau in the Dinaric Alps of northwestern Yugoslavia and northeastern Italy (一个德国地域风味的塞尔维亚克罗地亚用语，指由石灰岩溶解创造的一种地形，其以假设的不存在地表排水系统、有一系列的表面凹地、凹陷和裂缝、崩塌结构以及遍布的地下排水系统为标志。 一种地貌，由石灰岩、石膏和其它岩石的溶解形成，以溶洞、洞穴和地下排水为标志。词源：德语，来自南斯拉夫领土krs；此类型地区在南斯拉夫的西北部和意大利东北部的迪纳拉造山带阿尔卑斯山的石灰岩高原。) |
