Precipitation of carbonate minerals in travertine-depositing hot springs: Driving forces, microenvironments, and mechanisms
Travertine-depositing hot springs can generate various carbonate minerals with or without
the participation of microorganisms. They thus serve as good natural laboratories to study …
