This research examines how forest density relates to calcareous tufa formation during the Holocene.
Utilized a dataset of 579 Holocene tufas to analyze their spatial and temporal distribution in Europe.
Investigated the correlation between tufa locations and forest density, focusing on the Preboreal and Boreal periods.
Employed GIS techniques to assess environmental changes and forest coverage in relation to tufa development.
Tufas were predominantly found in well-forested areas, particularly during the Holocene's early periods.
During the Preboreal and Boreal periods, higher forest cover contributed significantly to tufa formation.
Currently, forest density in tufa areas aligns more closely with the European average, suggesting changes in development factors.
