Evaluating sensitivity of silicate mineral dissolution rates to physical weathering using a soil evolution model (SoilGen2.25) [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Silicate mineral dissolution rates depend on the interaction of a number of factors categorized either as intrinsic (e.g. mineral surface area, mineral composition) or extrinsic (e.g.

Silicate weathering in anoxic marine sediment as a requirement for authigenic carbonate burial
, 2020 We emphasize the importance of marine silicate weathering (MSiW) reactions in anoxic sediment as fundamental in generating alkalinity and cations needed for carbonate precipitation and preservation along continental margins.

Co-variation of silicate, carbonate and sulfide weathering drives CO2 release with erosion
Nature Geoscience, 2021 Global climate is thought to be modulated by the supply of minerals to Earth’s surface. Whereas silicate weathering removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, weathering of accessory carbonate and sulfide minerals is a geologically relevant source

Lithologic Controls on Silicate Weathering Regimes of Temperate Planets [PDF]
The Planetary Science Journal, 2020 Weathering of silicate rocks at a planetary surface can draw down CO2 from the atmosphere for eventual burial and long-term storage in the planetary interior. This process is thought to provide essential negative feedback to the carbonate-silicate cycle (

Worldwide distribution of continental rock lithology: Implications for the atmospheric/soil CO2 uptake by continental weathering and alkalinity river transport to the oceans [PDF]
, 2003 The silicate rock weathering followed by the formation of carbonate rocks in the ocean, transfers CO2 from the atmosphere to the lithosphere. This CO2 uptake plays a major role in the regulation of atmospheric CO2 concentrations at the geologic ...

The progress and prospects of potassium stable isotopes in hydrogeochemistry
Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi, 2023 Chemical weathering of silicate minerals is an important source for Ca, Mg, Na and K. However, in comparison with other major elements (e.g., Ca, Mg and Na) in waters, how K behaves during water-rock interaction remains poorly understood.

High potential for weathering and climate effects of non-vascular vegetation in the Late Ordovician [PDF]
, 2016 It has been hypothesized that predecessors of today’s bryophytes significantly increased global chemical weathering in the Late Ordovician, thus reducing atmospheric CO2 concentration and contributing to climate cooling and an interval of glaciations ...

Evidence for silicate dissolution on Mars from the Nakhla meteorite [PDF]
, 2013 Veins containing carbonates, hydrous silicates and sulphates that occur within and between grains of augite and olivine in the Nakhla meteorite are good evidence for the former presence of liquid water in the Martian crust.
