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 ...

The role of land weathering in carbon consumption and its impact on global carbon cycling since the Last Interglacial period [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAtmospheric CO2 variations across glacial-interglacial cycles are tightly linked to oceanic and terrestrial carbon reservoirs, but the contribution of weathering remains poorly constrained.

Silicates, Silicate Weathering, and Microbial Ecology [PDF]
Geomicrobiology Journal, 2001 Mineralogy, microbial ecology, and mineral weathering in the subsurface are an intimately linked biogeochemical system. Although bacteria have been implicated indirectly in the accelerated weathering of minerals, it is not clear if this interaction is simply the coincidental result of microbial metabolism, or if it represents a specific strategy ...

Decoupling of Neogene seawater lithium isotopes from uplift-driven weathering [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe 9‰ increase in seawater lithium isotope (δ7Li) during the Cenozoic is widely regarded as evidence for uplift-driven enhancement of continental silicate weathering.

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.

Review Article Silicate Bacteria as a Biofertilizer [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Biotechnology, 2022 The present article reveals that silicate solubilizing microbes are essential part of weathering silicate minerals. Alumino-silicate group appears the most minerals to weathering by several bacteria.

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”.
