Silicon isotopes in allophane as a proxy for mineral formation in volcanic soils
Weathering of basaltic ash in volcanic areas produces andosols, rich in allophane and ferrihydrite. Since the rate of mineral formation is very useful in climate and geochemical modelling, this study investigates Si isotope compositions of allophane as a proxy for mineral formation. Allophane formed...
