Long-term rates of chemical weathering and physical erosion from cosmogenic nuclides and geochemical mass balance
Quantifying long-term rates of chemical weathering and physical erosion is important for understanding the long-term evolution of soils, landscapes, and Earth’s climate. Here we describe how long-term chemical weathering rates can be measured for actively eroding landscapes using cosmogenic nuclides together with a geochemical mass balance of weathered soil and parent rock. We tested this appro...
متن کاملLithological Influences on Contemporary and Long-Term Regolith Weathering at the Luquillo Critical Zone Observatory
1 Lithologic differences 2 variable silicate weathering fluxes, which provide an important negative feedback on climate over 3 geologic timescales. To isolate the influence of lithology on weathering rates and mechanisms, we 4 compare two nearby catchments in the Luquillo Critical Zone Observatory in Puerto Rico, which 5 have similar climate history, relief and vegetation, but differ in bedrock...
متن کاملWeathering of the Rio Blanco quartz diorite, Luquillo Mountains, Puerto Rico: Coupling oxidation, dissolution, and fracturing
In the mountainous Rio Icacos watershed in northeastern Puerto Rico, quartz diorite bedrock weathers spheroidally, producing a 0.2–2 m thick zone of partially weathered rock layers ( 2.5 cm thickness each) called rindlets, which form concentric layers around corestones. Spheroidal fracturing has been modeled to occur when a weathering reaction with a positive DV of reaction builds up elastic st...
متن کاملWeak influences of climate and mineral supply rates on chemical erosion rates: Measurements along two altitudinal transects in the Idaho Batholith
[1] Chemical weathering promotes regolith production, physical erosion, nutrient supply, and drawdown of atmospheric CO2. Although mineral dissolution rates show dependences on temperature and moisture in theoretical models and laboratory experiments, effects of climate on chemical erosion rates in nature remain uncertain, in part because variations in physical erosion rates and lithology can o...
