Weathering and erosion slowly chisel ... When the glacier begins to melt, it deposits its cargo of soil and rock, transporting the rocky debris toward the sea. Every year, rivers deposit millions ...

Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.

chemical weathering: Process by which rocks, soil, and minerals are dissolved or broken down via a range of chemical processes including carbonation, hydrolysis, hydration, and redox reactions.

A new study reveals that implementing enhanced weathering (EW), the practice of adding crushed basalt to soils, with U.S. agriculture could remove between 160 and 300 million metric tons of carbon ...

All plants require 17 elements to complete their life cycle, and an additional four elements have been identified as essential for some plants (Havlin et al. 2005). With the exception of C, H, and ...

Study: Redistributing soil can restore nutrients, improve water retention, and significantly boost crop yields on eroded ...

When European-American settlers first began ploughing in Iowa, they found the weather and local geology had combined this organic mulch with sand and silt to form a nutrient-rich type of soil ...

Soil creep is a very slow movement, occurring on very gentle slopes because of the way soil particles repeatedly expand and contract in wet and dry periods. When wet, soil particles increase in ...

While the world’s soils are home to lots of organic carbon ... such as afforestation and improved rock weathering—can help slow down this significant source of CO 2. The sole focus of ...

Weathering of rock and minerals to deliver solutes to drainage waters in catchments and river basins including dissolved carbon dioxide and the release of metals contamination from contaminated soil ...

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a greenhouse gas removal (GGR) technology based on amending agricultural soils with crushed calcium- and magnesium-rich silicate rocks - like basalt, which is usually ...
