Enhanced weathering (EW) aims to amplify a natural sink for CO2 by incorporating powdered silicate rock with high reactive surface area into agricultural soils. The goal is to achieve rapid dissolution of minerals and release of alkalinity with accompanying dissolution of CO2 into soils and drainage waters. EW could counteract phosphorus limitation and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in tropical...

Bacterial weathering plays a significant role in rock weathering, yet only limited number of studies were conducted on this topic. The recent rapid developments geomicrobiology are expected to increase the pace research area. extent and duration biological processes mineral samples minerals preferred by bacteria still not fully understood due wide variety both bacterial species types.
