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