Quantifying nutrient uptake as driver of rock weathering in forest ecosystems by magnesium stable isotopes

Plants and soil microbiota play an active role in rock weathering and potentially couple weathering at depth with erosion at the soil surface. The nature of this coupling is still unresolved because we lacked means to quantify the passage of chemical elements from rock through higher plants. In...
