abstract = {Four vertical facies sequences characterizing
different environments have been identified in relation to
two phases of tufa deposition (probably Pleistocene and
Holocene) within a valley located in the central sector of
the Betic Cordillera (southern Spain): (1) alluvial-fluvial
(non-tufa) deposits, (2) fluvial tufa, (3) fluvio-lacustrine
facies, and (4) spring with waterfall tufa. The first three
created a stepped axial depositional system and the spring
with waterfall tufa formed a transverse system. During the
first phase of tufa construction, the vertical evolution in the
axial system from alluvial-fluvial (non-tufa) to fluviolacustrine
tufa deposits is interpreted as the consequence of
geomorphological control. The evolution through time
from a high-gradient and stepped fluvial system to a lowgradient
fluvio-lacustrine system occurred upstream from
where the progradation of the transverse, perched spring
tufa system became narrower and finally dammed the
valley. The tufa barrage caused an increase in the vertical
accumulation within the axial system and a consequent
upstream decrease of accommodation space and slope of
the longitudinal profile. After a period of fluvial incision,
tufa formed again during the Holocene in a high-gradient
and stepped fluvial system.},
