The weathering process of carbonatite: weathering time [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Soil formation by rock weathering is driven by a combination of parent material, climate, organisms, topography, and time. Among these soil-forming factors, time plays a pivotal role in the weathering of carbonatite but it is a challenging factor to ...
