Carbon vegetation uptake with alkaline minerals and nutrient supply
Weathering is the deterioration of rocks, soils, and minerals on the surface of the Earth through contact with water, atmospheric gases, and biological organisms. In this process, CO2 is removed from the atmosphere by reaction with alkaline minerals converting CO2 dissolved in natural waters into carbonates and bicarbonates.
By applying finely ground minerals over the land surface, the weathering process is accelerated favouring the absorption of CO2 in natural waters. At the same time, other elements released during the mineral dissolution could stimulate biological productivity, further enhancing the storage of carbon on land.
