Holocene fluvial dynamics in mountain areas: the case of the River Esino (Umbria-Marche Appenines)
Keywords:
Fluvial dynamics, Travertine, Holocene, Apennine, ItalyAbstract
On the basis of detailed morphological, sedimentological and stratigraphical investigations the Early Holocene evolution of the source area of the River Esino (close to Esanatoglia, Umbria-Marche Apennines) is outlined. Particularly important in this framework was the emplacement of thick deposits of phytohermal and phytoclastic travertine, favoured by the presence in the waters of a greater amount of CO, deriving from densely vegetated slopes. Beginning from 3.500 y. B.P., the travertine deposition underwent a progressive reduction and than ceased possibly connected with anthropic deforestation.
