Mineral weathering is linked to microbial priming in the critical zone

, 2023
Decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) can be stimulated by fresh organic matter input, a phenomenon known as the ‘priming effect’. Despite its global importance, the relationship of the priming effect to mineral weathering and nutrient release ...

Applying minerals to soil to draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide through synergistic organic and inorganic pathways

Communications Earth & Environment
Minerals in soil can sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide through natural organic and inorganic processes. Here we consider three soil- and mineral-based methods for carbon dioxide removal: (1) grinding and spreading of calcium- and magnesium-rich ...

Suitability of rocks, minerals, and cement waste for CO2 removal via enhanced rock weathering

Communications Chemistry
Mineral and rock additions to the environment have been proposed as a pathway to remove atmospheric CO2. This process occurs when hydrated minerals or rocks increase alkalinity, promoting the formation of bicarbonate. In this study, we evaluate the potential of commonly used hydrated rock and mineral powders to enhance alkalinity and react with both ...

Biochar‐based fertilizers improve nutrient use efficiency in sunflower grown on a subtropical tidal soil

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Improving fertilizer use efficiency is essential for reducing environmental pollution, sustaining agricultural production, and maximizing the economic profitability of crop production systems. This study tested the hypothesis that the formulation strategy of biochar‐based fertilizers, rather than nutrient addition alone, is associated with ...

Geochemical Evidence for Weathering in Northwestern European Loess on a Sub-millenial Scale During the Last Ice Age [PDF]

This study seeks to determine the extent to which chemostratigraphy can supplement other stratigraphic tools in determining the effects of climate change in loess-palaeosol sequences.

The dissolution of olivine added to soil at 32°C: the fate of weathering products and its implications for enhanced weathering at different temperatures

Frontiers in Climate
The amendment of agricultural soils by crushed silicate minerals has been proposed to enhance weathering rates and facilitate carbon dioxide (CO2) removal from the atmosphere. Laboratory dissolution experiments typically provide weathering rates that are

From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

The expanding network of mineral chemistry throughout earth history reveals global shifts in crustal chemistry during the Proterozoic

Scientific Reports, 2022
Earth surface redox conditions are intimately linked to the co-evolution of the geosphere and biosphere. Minerals provide a record of Earth’s evolving surface and interior chemistry in geologic time due to many different processes (e.g.

Rates of Mineral Dissolution from the Flask to Enhanced Weathering

Eos
Assessing the rate that weathering could draw carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere requires understanding why lab- and field-based rate measurements differ by orders of magnitude.

Financial Constraints and Corporate Sustainability Performance: Do Climate Exposure and People's Climate Attention Matter?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between financial constraints and a firm's sustainability performance. Our empirical analysis utilises a panel of 40,445 observations from 9466 listed non‐financial firms across 44 countries, spanning the period from 2002 to 2019.
