Weak impact of microorganisms on Ca, Mg-bearing silicate weathering

Abstract Assessment of the microbial impact on mineral dissolution is crucial for a predictive understanding of basic (Ca, Mg bearing) silicate weathering and the associated CO2 consumption, bioerosion, and CO2 storage in basaltic rocks. However, there are controversies about the mechanism of microb...
