🚨In a recent study, researchers have uncovered insights that shed light on the potential of #EnhancedRockWeathering. They examined an Icelandic Histic/Gleyic Andosol that has received substantial quantities of basaltic dust for ~3,300yrs.


DETAILS:🧵1/9 researchsquare.com/article/rs-343…
According to this study, the extended timespan (3300yrs) provides a unique prospect to quantify the rates & long-term consequences of #ERW. The basaltic dust added to the soil has been dissolving continuously since its deposition, fundamentally altering the soil's properties.
