Evolution of trees and mycorrhizal fungi intensifies silicate mineral weathering.
Quirk, J; Beerling, DJ; Banwart, SA; Kakonyi, G; Romero-Gonzalez, ME; Leake, JR (The Royal Society Publishing, 2012-12-23)Forested ecosystems diversified more than 350 Ma to become major engines of continental silicate weathering, regulating the Earth's atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration by driving calcium export into ocean carbonates. ... -
Oxalate secretion by ectomycorrhizal Paxillus involutus is mineral-specific and controls calcium weathering from minerals.
Schmalenberger, A; Duran, AL; Bray, AW; Bridge, J; Bonneville, S; Benning, LG; Romero-Gonzalez, ME; Leake, JR; Banwart, SA (Nature Publishing, 2015-07-22)Trees and their associated rhizosphere organisms play a major role in mineral weathering driving calcium fluxes from the continents to the oceans that ultimately control long-term atmospheric CO2 and climate through the ...
