کانی شناسی سطحی خاکهای سولفاته اسیدی ساحلی، در ناحیه شهری پینجارا، جنوب غربی استرالیا
Acid sulfate soils in Western Australia commonly occur in coastal regions. One of the greatest threats to coastal environment is the disturbance of acid sulfate soils due to urban development which can lead to widespread acidification of lands and streams and subsequent economic losses onsite or in adjacent areas. Surface sampling from different landforms of the study area and analytical result...
متن کاملEffects of CO2 and nutrient availability on mineral weathering in controlled tree growth experiments
[1] We sought to determine the effect of elevated atmospheric CO2 on mineral weathering reactions in midlatitude carbonate-bearing forest soils of differing nutrient availability. Increased plant growth and soil respiration under elevated atmospheric CO2 suggest increased rates of carbon cycling, which may affect mineral weathering. A randomized complete block experiment was conducted, where as...
متن کاملSimulating carbon capture by enhanced weathering with croplands: an overview of key processes highlighting areas of future model development
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...
متن کاملMineralization rate of C-labelled dissolved organic matter from leaf litter in soils of a weathering chronosequence
During the processes of primary succession and soil development, large stocks of organic C with very long residence times accumulate in many soils. Soluble organic C adsorbed by soils may contribute to the stock of organic C accumulating during soil development. We determined whether the mineralization rate of water-soluble organic C and the insoluble residue from C-labelled leaf litter added t...
متن کاملThe mystery of 506.5 nm feature of reflectance spectra of Vesta and Vestoids: Evidence for space weathering?
Although asteroid 4 Vesta and Vestoids have been believed to be the source of a group of basaltic meteorites called HEDs, there have been detailed spectral analyses on the spectral redness and the 506.5 nm absorption band, suggesting controversy on their space weathering processes and origins. In order to evaluate a possibility that such an apparent inconsistency may be explained by the space w...
