“…In a similar experiment, Yan et al (2023) found significantly increased CO 2 emissions due to soil organic carbon mineralization when mixing 12 different soil types with wollastonite (although wollastonite application is extremely high at 10 wt%). Vienne et al (2023) found significantly reduced CO 2 emissions in a mesocosm experiment with high (100 t ha -1 ) basalt application rates compared to their control, although the addition of earthworms to the basalt plots increased the emission. Preliminary results of automated CO 2 measurements point towards more significant and consistent data than for all other phases (plant, soil, water), but identify an overall increase in CO 2 efflux from soils (Paessler et al, 2023).…”

“…Novel isotope tracers, such as magnesium (Mg), lithium (Li), silicon (Si), and stable strontium (Sr) can be used to trace processes such as secondary mineral formation. The majority of work to date on these isotope systems has revolved around quantifying fractionation factors and natural element cycling (Penniston-Dorland et al, 2017;Teng et al, 2017), but EW-specific applications are increasing (Pogge von Strandmann et al, 2021;Vienne et al, 2023). For these isotopic tracers strong fractionations are induced by interactions with secondary minerals, thus potentially allowing quantification of secondary mineral formation using isotope mass balance, that could inform on cation loss to exchangeable phases, or potential re-release of CO 2 during secondary mineral formation (see section 3.3; Campbell et al, 2022).…”

“…Note that these calculations do not take into account changes in olivine surface area and that the experimental periods of the lower temperature experiments were longer. Further, the alkalinityenhancement carbon drawdown pathway (Buckingham et al, 2022;West et al, 2023) and the biotic pathway of EW (Goll et al, 2021) are not covered in this experiment as biota (plants, fungi, microbes and macro-vertebrates such as earth worms) can strongly affect weathering rates and physicochemical soil processes (Versteegh et al, 2014;Verbruggen et al, 2021;Vicca et al, 2022;Vienne et al, 2023). As mentioned above, the sequestration potential inferred in this study should hence be regarded a conservative estimate, which might also be indicated by ambient condition carbon dioxide sequestration rates of dunite and ultramafic lithologies, respectively, being higher than the high temperature consumption rates obtained in this experiment (Schopka et al, 2011;Amann et al, 2022).…”
