Chemical weathering of silicate rocks at the Earth's surface is a fundamental process regulating biogeochemical cycles and modulating global climate over geologic timescales (Berner et al., 1983;West et al., 2005). However, the feedback between weathering and climate still suffers from uncertainty, which mainly originates from the difficult isolation of the respective influences of climate and tectonics on weathering and the use of weathering proxies in sedimentary records (Herman et al., 2013). Moreover, silicate weathering transferring elements from continent to seawater influences the marine sedimentary records, and the flux of elements is primarily controlled by chemical weathering rates (Bataille et al., 2017). Therefore, identifying the controlling factors of chemical weathering is critical to understanding the feedback between weathering and climate and interpreting past climate change by records of weathering. Some studies examined the factors influencing weathering rates of silicate rocks, such as climate, lithology, tectonics, topography, and biota (e.g.,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
