Congo River sand and the equatorial quartz factory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A never solved problem in sedimentary petrology is the origin of sandstone consisting exclusively of quartz and most durable heavy minerals. The Congo River offers an excellent test case to investigate under which tectonic, geomorphological, climatic ...

Destabilization of carbon in tropical peatlands by enhanced weathering

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2022
Enhanced weathering in tropical peatlands may be an ineffective carbon dioxide removal strategy due to pH-induced increases in soil carbon leaching which lead to increased re-emission of carbon, according to model calculations constrained by observations

Increase in cation exchange capacity by the action of maize rhizosphere on Mg or Fe biotite-rich rocks

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2022
The weathering of some silicate minerals in crushed rocks may occur in a few days of cropping and generate different physicochemical properties, with potential benefits to tropical soils.

Vegetation of the gnamma of the Sierra de Guadarrama and La Serena (Spain)

open access: yesAnales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2009
Weathering pits are wetlands of geomorphologic and biological interest, but this common fact is obscured by the different names used by biologists, such as the ambiguous name of rock pool.

Role of the sediments of two tropical dam reservoirs in the flux of metallic elements to the water column [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In tropical climates, the high rainfall and temperature, throughout the annual cycle, allow high leaching rates of metallic elements from the basin upstream, which accumulate in the reservoirs.
