ABSTRACT Background: Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) using silicate rock dust is a promising strategy for soil remineralization and carbon dioxide removal. However, its agronomic efficacy is highly dependent on soil properties. Aim: This study provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the influence of soil type on the performance of rock dust ...

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 ...

Abstract Climate change affects food production, increasing the need for CO2 reduction strategies. Enhanced rock weathering (ERW), which involves the spreading of crushed silicate rock powder on agricultural soil to sequester atmospheric CO2 via enhanced natural weathering, shows potential to enrich the agricultural soil.

Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma
ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the influence this has had on political action to control them.

Fractionation Mechanism and Flux Estimation of Strontium Isotopes During Basalt Weathering
The fluxes of metal cations and isotopes released by weathering of silicate rocks are crucial and a prerequisite for constraining geochemical fluxes to rivers and oceans.

ABSTRACT Background On ca. 10% of the forested sites in the Bavarian Alps (Germany) mountain, forest soils (so‐called folic histosols) are characterized by thick organic layers overlying poorly weathered calcareous parent material. Aim These organic layers play a critical role in releasing water and nutrients for vegetation, yet they are also sensitive

ABSTRACT The Cadí Massif (42°17′09″ N, 1°38′11″ E; 2649 m a.s.l.) in the southeastern Pyrenees preserves clear evidence of Late Pleistocene glaciation, although previous research has focused almost exclusively on its northern slope. By contrast, the southern slope has remained largely unexplored.

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales
ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

ABSTRACT Stable isotope analyses of freshwater mollusc carbonate can record environmental conditions at the time of mineralisation, yet this technique remains underused in British Middle Pleistocene fluvial sequences, despite the abundance of fossil shell material in these deposits.

Interactions between silicate weathering and ectomycorrhiza in severely acidified forests
Soil acidification driven by anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is a growing global threat to forest health. Aside from direct nutrient-related effects, as forest soils acidify, severe reductions in ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi abundance and diversity ...
