The waters of the main stream Lutter are derived from the aquifer of the Lower Muschelkalk, whereas the tributary is characterised by an admixture of groundwaters from the Middle Muschelkalk Group. CO 2 degassing of the tributary results in a high super-saturation with respect to calcite, sustaining tufa formation at the cascade at the confluence with the stream Lutter. While top parts of the tufa cascade are currently dominated by poorly calcifying diatom-dominated and green algal bio-films, photosynthesis-induced formation of cyanobacterial tufa stromatolites was only observed at overhanging parts of the cascade. Despite the influx of the highly supersaturated tributary, the calcite supersaturation of the Lutter remains too low to sustain biofilm calcification in the main stream."],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/64593"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.publisher","Universitätsverlag Göttingen"],["dc.publisher.place","Göttingen"],["dc.relation.ispartof","”Spongy, slimy, cosy & more…”.
