Earth's land surface teems with life. Although the distribution of ecosystems is largely
explained by temperature and precipitation, vegetation can vary markedly with little variation …

Evaluating conflicting theories about the influence of mountains on carbon dioxide cycling
and climate requires understanding weathering fluxes from tectonically uplifting landscapes …

Landscapes evolve in response to external forces, such as tectonics and climate, that
influence surface processes of erosion and weathering. Internal feedbacks between erosion …

Although continental weathering intensity has been invoked as a primary control on
biogeochemistry, tectonics, and the carbon cycle throughout geologic history, it remains …

Silicates constitute more than 90% of the rocks exposed in the Earth's land masses (Garrels
and Mackenzie, 1971). Most primary minerals comprising these rocks are …

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Resources Monograph
Series, Volume 19. What are the forms and processes characteristic of mountain rivers and …

Although the burrowing activity of some species (eg gophers) is well studied, a
comprehensive inventory of burrowing animals in adjacent biomes is not yet known, despite …

What controls the chemical weathering of soils in tectonically active landscapes? Recent
field and modeling studies suggest that tectonic forcing and associated increases in erosion …

Chemical weathering in soils dissolves and alters minerals, mobilizes metals, liberates
nutrients to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and may modulate Earth's climate over …

The weathering and erosion processes that produce and destroy regolith are widely
recognized to be positively correlated across diverse landscapes. However, conceptual and …
