Weathering breaks down bedrock thereby releasing life-sustaining nutrients into the ecosystem (e.g., Graham et al., 2010), affecting groundwater storage (e.g., Holbrook et al., 2014;Worthington et al., 2016), and regulating landscape evolution (e.g., Riebe et al., 2015). Chemical weathering is believed to be bounded from below by chemically equilibrated groundwater underneath the water table (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.
