Contrasted Chemical Weathering Rates in Cratonic Basins: The Ogooué and Mbei Rivers, Western Central Africa

Frontiers in Water, 2021
Despite the absence of tectonic activity, cratonic environments are characterized by strongly variable, and in places significant, rock weathering rates. This is shown here through an exploration of the weathering rates in two inter-tropical river basins

Pathway Weathering in Granitoid Rocks from Central Region of Angola: Geochemical and Mineralogical Data [PDF]

, 2012
The Central Region of Angola is characterized by the abundance of granitoid rocks, whose weathering “in situ” originated the so-called residual soils. The textural, geochemical and mineralogical properties of these soils depend not only on the chemical ...

Organic carbon transport and C/N ratio variations in a large tropical river: Godavari as a case study, India [PDF]

, 2005
This study gives an insight into the source of organic carbon and nitrogen in the Godavari river and its tributaries, the yield of organic carbon from the catchment, seasonal variability in their concentration and the ultimate flux of organic and ...

Do outgrower schemes enhance technology adoption and productivity? Evidence from maize farmers in Northern Ghana

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Nucleus outgrower schemes are contractual arrangements where well‐resourced large‐scale farmers (nucleus farmers) are empowered by development support agencies to take charge of smallholder farmers, by providing them with market access and the necessary training on agronomic practices and farm inputs for production.

Study of an abnormal occurrence of Oxisols in strongly undulated relief in the south of Minas Gerais, Brazil, with support of pXRF and geomorphology

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2021
Oxisols are the main soils in Brazil and they classically occur in stable and gentle geomorphic surfaces. However, in the south of Minas Gerais State, Oxisols have been observed under strongly undulated relief, a very rare condition for these soils in ...

Flowpath Partitioning Controls Chemical Weathering Fluxes in the Tropics

Water Resources Research
Tropical watersheds are thought to exert a strong control on the global carbon cycle because elevated temperature and rainfall rates promote the chemical weathering of silicate rocks.

Vegetation controls on weathering intensity during the last deglacial transition in southeast Africa.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Tropical climate is rapidly changing, but the effects of these changes on the geosphere are unknown, despite a likelihood of climatically-induced changes on weathering and erosion.

Factorization Machine‐Based Active Learning for Functional Materials Design with Optimal Initial Data

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This work investigates the optimal initial data size for surrogate‐based active learning in functional material optimization. Using factorization machine (FM)‐based quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) surrogates and averaged piecewise linear regression, we show that adequate initial data accelerates convergence, enhances efficiency, and ...
