[0002] Karst landforms in China are vast, and cave sediments are richly developed. Since the secondary calcium carbonate sediments in caves inherit the signals of atmospheric precipitation and temperature changes, many scientists use various elements and isotopes and other proxy indicators in them to reconstruct high-precision and high-resolution climate environment evolution records, making important contributions to the study of regional environmental changes. However, related research mainly focuses on record reconstruction and theoretical deduction, lacking further testing and evaluation of proxy indicators through indoor experiments. Therefore, the climate environment significance of indicators such as oxygen and carbon isotopes and trace elements of calcium carbonate sediments is still often questioned.

[0003] Currently, the growth simulation experiment of calcium carbonate sediments inside domestic laboratories is in its infancy. In order to further understand how trace elements and stable isotopes reflect and indicate environmental changes and the quantitative relationships with conditions such as humidity, temperature, and dripping, it is necessary for this application to provide an indoor calcium carbonate sediment culture device.
