Proton consumption rates in Holocene and present-day weathering of acid forest soils.

Abstract

Results from weathering budgets and input-output budgets of sealed catchments and soil columns are reviewed in order to estimate naturally occurring rates of silicate weathering. Results indicate that Holocene and present-day rates of basic cation release from weathering appear to be similar (0.4-1.0 kEq.Ha-1.yr-1.-from Author
