Calcareous tuff springs are corridors dominated by mosses at oxygen-rich, calcareous springs. They are caused by the CO2 withdrawal from the water, which is mostly caused by plants, which disturbs the lime-carbonic acid balance and causes calcium carbonate to precipitate. The lime accumulates on the vegetation and can form bizarre shapes and sometimes even massive fossil layers. The source flora consists of very few but very characteristic species.
