    Abstract
  • On the Earth’s surface with an open-water setting，travertine deposits generally result from the interplay of physio‐chemical（abiotic）and biotic processes responsible for carbonate precipitation. Algae is widespread in travertine depositing environments，and the growth of which has an important influence on the process of travertine deposition and travertine macro-and micro-morphology. In this work，we conducted a systematic investigation into hydrochemical compositions of deposition sites，the composition of living algae community and the micro-structure and fabrics of neo-precipitated travertine in the Huanglong area，Sichuan Province. Our objective was to examine the role of algae during the process of travertine deposition. A large number of prokaryotic and eukaryotic algae，such as cyanobacteria，green algae and diatoms，were found to grow in the water environment of Huanglong. The metabolism of them（both photo-synthesis and respiration）could lead to changes in the chemical compositions of water in which travertine forms，but this is only observable in pools with stagnant water. Mostly，algae forms microbial mats or biofilms which are several hundred microns to 1-2 mm in thickness and serve as an important place for carbonate precipitation（i.e. active depositional zones）. Within such zones，the algae and secreted extracellular polymer substances（EPS）likely provide many favorable nucleation sites and growth templates for carbonate crystals，thereby greatly promoting travertine precipitation. Meanwhile，the EPS could control or affect the morphology of calcite crystals and travertine fabrics. Better understanding and quantification of the role of algae in travertine deposition require further study at a microscale，so as to gain more insights into the mechanism of travertine deposition，lay a foundations for accurate interpretation of fabrics and geochemical proxies of ancient travertine deposits and provide more evidence for prediction of the evolution and conservation of travertine landscape.
