Popis: Travertine mounds are common spring-constructed landforms with highly variable geometries, but factors controlling their development have not yet been fully understood. To investigate processes linked with their lateral and vertical growth, this study investigated travertine mounds at Heinitang (China) and compared them with typical mounds around the world. Calcium concentration variation modelling and height evaluation of travertine mounds were also performed. The lateral extent of travertine mounds was found to be mainly controlled by Ca2+ and urn:x-wiley:00370746:media:sed12961:sed12961-math-0001 concentrations and water discharge: relatively small metre-scale mounds, like those from Heinitang, are largely the products of Ca2+-deficiency (
