La Trucha is a small (~ 1.9 km2), mountainous (~ 1300 m a.s.l.) granitic drainage basin, demonstrative of hundreds of second-order basins in the Achala Batholith of the Sierras Pampeanas of Córdoba, Argentina. Dominated ...

We have evaluated the long-term chemical and physical weathering mass balance of an anomalously thick saprolite profile (>30 in thickness) developed in granitic rocks near Curacavi, Coastal Range of central Chile. The ...

Chemical weathering produces soils and the necessary nutrients for ecosystems; addi- tionally, it regulates the climate at geologic timescales. Therefore, weathering is a funda- mental process for the Earth’s living layer: ...

Correspondence Analysis was adopted as tool for investigating the statistical structure of hydrochemical and weathering datasets of groundwater samples, with the main purpose of identifying impacts on mineral weathering ...

Chemical weathering rates and atmosphere/soil CO2 consumption of igneous and metamorphic rocks under tropical climate in southeastern Brazil were evaluated using the chemical composition of surface waters and fresh rocks ...

Although climate exerts a major control on mineral weathering and soil formation processes, the combined effect of vegetation and topography can influence the rate and extent of chemical weathering at the hillslope scale. ...

The chemical weathering plays an important role in the processes of surface geochemistry, which is fundamental to understand the landscape evolution. The Paraná Basin is an intracratonic sedimentary basin developed on the ...
