A global temperature control of silicate weathering intensity [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 How silicate weathering responds to and regulates Earth’s climate remain controversial. This study suggests the primary control of temperature on weathering intensity globally and the temperature-weathering feedback may be stronger in cold Earth.

K isotopes trace temporal silicate weathering intensity [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSilicate weathering alters the biogeochemical compositions of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere, and thereby regulates both nutrient cycling and habitable temperatures on Earth, but tracing silicate weathering effectively remains a challenge ...

Silicate weathering in anoxic marine sediments [PDF]
Mineralogical Magazine, 2008 Two sediment cores retrieved at the northern slope of Sakhalin Island, Sea of Okhotsk, were analysed for biogenic opal, organic carbon, carbonate, sulphur, major element concentrations, mineral contents and dissolved substances including nutrients, sulphate, methane, major cations, humic substances and total alkalinity.

Silicate chemical weathering disrupts the global patterns of phosphorus limitation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsGlobal change is accelerating the chemical weathering of silicate rocks and the associated phosphorus release. However, the effects of phosphorus release on the global patterns of plant phosphorus limitation remain unclear.

Refined weathering CO2 budget of the Tibetan Plateau strongly modulated by sulphide oxidation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsEstimation of net CO2 consumption by weathering in orogen is complicated as high erosion rate promotes competing processes of CO2 consumption (silicate weathering) and releasing (sulfuric acid (H2SO4) dissolution of carbonate).

Dissolved load, chemical weathering, and CO2 uptake dynamics of small tropical mountainous rivers of Southern Granulite Terrain, Karamana and Vamanpuram, Western Ghats, India [PDF]
Scientific ReportsChemical weathering in a river basin is a key geochemical process that controls fluxes between the atmosphere, land, and ocean, playing a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate, particularly the small tropical mountainous rivers with high weathering ...

The effect of the Pliocene temperature pattern on silicate weathering and Pliocene–Pleistocene cooling [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2023 The warmer early Pliocene climate featured changes to global sea surface temperature (SST) patterns, namely a reduction in the Equator–pole gradient and the east–west SST gradient in the tropical Pacific, the so-called “permanent El Niño”.

Mobile evaporite enhances the cycle of physical–chemical erosion in badlands [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2023 Chemical weathering driven by physical erosion is a natural process that strongly affects chemical and solid matter budgets at the Earth's surface. However, the influence of extreme climatic erosion on chemical weathering dynamics is poorly understood ...
