Mechanical properties of dense mycelium-bound composites under accelerated tropical weathering conditions [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Mycelium, as the root of fungi, is composed of filamentous strands of fine hyphae that bind discrete substrate particles into a block material. With advanced processing, dense mycelium-bound composites (DMCs) resembling commercial particleboards can be ...

Paleogeographic controls on Phanerozoic weathering rates and implications for climate regulation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsEarth’s climate has remained habitable for billions of years, a stability usually attributed to a negative feedback from silicate weathering – the chemical breakdown of silicate rocks on land, which consumes atmospheric carbon dioxide faster as climate ...

Bone weathering in a Mediterranean climate region: An experimental case study from Doñana National Park (Spain). [PDF]
PLoS ONEBone weathering constitutes a highly informative and commonly studied variable in taphonomic analyses. Vertebrate paleontologists, zoo-archeologists and forensic anthropologists have used weathering as a taphonomic clock to ascertain the exposure time of

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”.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Boulders are an important material in debris flow and their source is coupled with spheroidal weathering profiles that produce corestones. The goal of this work was to establish the geochemical transformations that produced corestones and distinguished ...

A revised model of global silicate weathering considering the influence of vegetation cover on erosion rate [PDF]
Geoscientific Model DevelopmentSilicate weathering, which is of great importance in regulating the global carbon cycle, has been found to be affected by complicated factors, including climate, tectonics and vegetation. However, the exact transfer function between these factors and the
