High evaporation rates in dry periods resulted in significant dolomite deposition in a saline environment, indicating climate impact.
Over 50,000 years, two sediment cores were analyzed, showing lithofacies changes influenced by hydrological variation.
Characterization of carbonate minerals included assessing the relationship between saline conditions and mineralogy in the cores.
Findings suggest strong links between climatic events and sedimentary responses in Laguna Fuente de Piedra, specifically during the Holocene.
