Abstract
The possibilities of ecology-geomorphologic analysis of karst caves are considered, taking 76 the most frequent caves of Irkutsk amphitheatre as an example. The new definitions of cave rock relief – gallery, grotto, pit, and split are suggested. The regions with different degree of cave changes are distinguished on the base of the ecological studies of cave environment.
