Heterogeneity, the most prominent feature of karst ecological conditions, makes the restoration of areas experiencing Karst Rock Desertification (KRD) difficult. Soil temperature is one of the most important ecological factors creating KRD, but little research on this topic has been conducted. The present study was causing to understand whether the exposure of bedrock during the process of KRD changes the soil temperature of karst microhabitats. Thus, a simulated soil temperature of KRD microhabitat in different time periods and with varied soil thickness was quantified. The results showed that bedrock exposure can change soil temperature. The trend varied with soil depth. In the high temperature period, the exposure of bedrock resulted in heating of soil, but in the low temperature period the exposure of bedrock resulted in cooling of soil. Both soil depth and bedrock exposure have a significant effect on soil temperature. However, the influence of bedrock exposure on soil temperature changed dramatically during different periods.
