“…Using a regolith dissolution rate of 0.01% per year produces a surface lowering of ∼30 mm/ka, close to observed values in the Luberon summit surface and elsewhere in peri-Mediterranean regions (Furlani et al, 2009;Ryb et al, 2014bRyb et al, , 2014a.…”

“…The limiting factors on carbonate dissolution have already been thoroughly investigated by Ryb et al (2014bRyb et al ( , 2014aRyb et al ( , 2015 across the Mediterranean and arid landscapes of Israel. Mean annual precipitation is 700 mm/yr over the Luberon Mountains, where water availability is likely to be limiting chemical weathering processes (Ryb et al, 2014a).…”

“…It is striking that the rates calculated here for the Western Wall are remarkably similar to the value (obtained using cosmogenic isotope measurements) of 21 ± 7 mm k.y. -1 (6.7 ± 2.2 × 10 -13 m s -1 ) reported for exposed bedrock carbonate rocks in the Judean Hills surrounding Jerusalem (Ryb et al, 2014). The similarity between the rates obtained using two entirely different methods (i.e., lidar versus cosmogenic isotopes) suggests that ancient edifices can in fact serve as reliable indicators of natural long-term carbonate erosion rates.…”

“…One of the difficulties with assessing the magnitude of carbonate dissolution is the large uncertainty concerning the rates of carbonate weathering in field settings. Many field experiments last no longer than several years, and cosmogenic isotope methods that can provide estimates of longterm rates have so far been limited (e.g., Stone et al, 1994;Matsushi et al, 2010;Ryb et al, 2014). Moreover, while chemical weathering is often assumed to be the dominant erosional mechanism in carbonates (e.g., Simms, 2004;Noiriel et al, 2009), mechanical processes could also be a significant factor in removing material from eroding rock surfaces (Vleugels and Van Grieken, 1995;Goldie, 2005).…”
