The paper elaborates the effect of hydrological, lithological and geochemical characteristics of catchment area and host rock on the hydrogeochemical composition of groundwater in Slovenia. The results have great importance for the project, since the processes taking place within the karstic aquifer may critically influence the hydrogeochemical composition of tufa-precipitating streams. Combination of several inter-aquifer processes may mask the environmental (temperature) signal of stream precipitates to a degree, when their identification is not possible.

COBISS.SI-ID: 1680469The presentation deals with differences between Mediterranean and continental karstic tufas regarding the preservation of palaeoenvironmental signals in carbonate. The signals are influenced by different factors, among others temperature, interaction with host rock, processes within the aquifer, recharge...., however, the largest differences are caused by hydrological regimes, which are differnet in different climates. These mostly influence the carbonate precipitation rate, which in turn affect the oxygen isotope fractionation during carbonate precipitation.
