Reorganization of the Asian climate from one dominated by global planetary wind systems
to a regional monsoon climate is closely related to the surface uplift of the Tibetan Plateau …

Mountain building results in high erosion rates and the interaction of rocks with the
atmosphere, water and life. Carbon transfers that result from increased erosion could control …

Organic carbon buried in marine sediment serves as a net sink for atmospheric carbon
dioxide and a source of oxygen,. The rate of organic carbon burial through geologic history …

The main problem associated with the study of silicate weathering using river dissolved load
is that the main control of solute chemistry is lithology and that all rivers are influenced by …

We present an integrative model predicting associations among epiphytism, the tank habit,
entangling seeds, C 3 vs. CAM photosynthesis, avian pollinators, life in fertile, moist …

Global climate is thought to be modulated by the supply of minerals to Earth's surface.
Whereas silicate weathering removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere …

There has been considerable controversy concerning the role of chemical weathering in the
regulation of the atmospheric partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and thus the strength of the …

This study attempts to characterise the chemical weathering of basalts and to quantify the
flux of carbon transferred from the atmosphere to the ocean during this major process at the …

The observed stability of Earth's climate over millions of years is thought to depend on the
rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) release from the solid Earth being balanced by the rate of CO2 …

Abstract The Late Cenozoic closure of the seaway between the North andSouth American
continents is thought to have caused extensive changes in ocean circulation and Northern …
