Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The formation of authigenic minerals in cave sediments can be used to reconstruct the paleochemical conditions that prevailed in the past. The authors investigated contemporary bat guano deposits in caves and the sediments directly below such deposits. The emerging patterns show that the formation of authigenic minerals occurs under acidic conditions within tens of years. Periods of cave abandonment can be inferred from the presence of authigenic minerals in the sediments as it is during these times that bats mainly occupy the cave. | |||||||
