In this comment on the introduction to the special volume entitled 'Understanding carbonate
factories through palaeoecological and sedimentological signals–Tribute to Luis Pomar'by …

We acknowledge John Reijmer for providing the opportunity to dive deeper into the concept
of 'carbonate factories' and, particularly, on the insights and substantial contributions of Luis …

The carbonate factories, their controlling factors and their palaeoecological and
sedimentological signals recorded in sedimentary successions are key elements for …

A complex interplay of environmental factors may affect regionally important Cenozoic
carbonate deposits, and a combination of different controls may result in comparable …

Efficacy of sequence stratigraphic concepts in siliciclastic systems has been proven by
successful applications in both academia and the industry over the past four decades …

This manual, organised along encycolopaedic/lexicographic lines, summarizes information
on the properties and characteristics of carbonates and their environments. Part 1 deals with …

Our understanding of where and how carbonate sediments are produced and accumulate
has changed considerably in recent years and a more complex framework is emerging. The …

Abstract [Significance] Carbonate factories provide the foundation for forming carbonate
depositional systems. They are closely related to marine evolution, elemental cycling, and …
