Controls on deep critical zone architecture: A historical review and four testable hypotheses
The base of Earth's critical zone (CZ) is commonly shielded from study by many meters of
overlying rock and regolith. Though deep CZ processes may seem far removed from the …

Geophysical imaging reveals topographic stress control of bedrock weathering
Bedrock fracture systems facilitate weathering, allowing fresh mineral surfaces to interact
with corrosive waters and biota from Earth's surface, while simultaneously promoting …

A unified initiative to harness Earth's microbiomes
Despite their centrality to life on Earth, we know little about how microbes interact with each
other, their hosts, or their environment. Although DNA sequencing technologies have …

Chemical reactions, porosity, and microfracturing in shale during weathering: The effect of erosion rate
The rate of chemical weathering has been observed to increase with the rate of physical
erosion in published comparisons of many catchments, but the mechanisms that couple …

Links between physical and chemical weathering inferred from a 65-m-deep borehole through Earth's critical zone
As bedrock weathers to regolith–defined here as weathered rock, saprolite, and soil–
porosity grows, guides fluid flow, and liberates nutrients from minerals. Though vital to …
