Frontiers in Climate, 2023 Enhanced weathering is a negative emission technology that involves the spread of crushed silicate minerals and rocks on land and water. When applied to agricultural soils, the resulting increase in soil pH and release of nutrients may co-benefit plant ...

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 ...

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.

Silicate weathering as a feedback and forcing in Earth's climate and carbon cycle
Earth-Science Reviews, 2020 Current understanding of the long-term carbon cycle posits that Earth's climate is stabilized by a negative feedback involving CO2 consumption by chemical weathering of silicate minerals.

Global CO2Consumption by Silicate Rock Chemical Weathering: Its Past and Future
Earth's Future, 2021 Silicate rock weathering maintains a stable and long‐term absorption of CO2. However, the magnitude, spatial pattern, and evolution characteristics of global silicate rock weathering carbon sink (SCS) 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).

A numerical examination of the effect of sulfide dissolution on silicate weathering
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2020 Silicate weathering regulates climate on geological time scales as a net, climate-sensitive sink of atmospheric CO2. On the other hand, sulfuric acid produced through sulfide dissolution affects silicate weathering, diminishing its effectiveness as a ...

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 Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2018 Abstract Recent studies have suggested that thermodynamic limitations on chemical weathering rates exert a first-order control on riverine solute fluxes and by extension, global chemical weathering rates. As such, these limitations may play a prominent role in the regulation of carbon dioxide levels (pCO2) over geologic timescales by constraining the
