CONT

Cette présence [des glaciers] règle l'alimentation en eau pendant les saisons chaudes et froides ainsi que l'apport en matière colloidale. Ce sont à proprement parler des «varves glacio-lacustres» dans lesquelles les organismes n'interviennent que peu et dans lesquelles les précipitations carbonatées ne jouent presqu'aucun rôle.
