Haque, F.; et al. (2019): Co-Benefits of Wollastonite Weathering in Agriculture: CO2 Sequestration and Promoted Plant Growth

Haque, F.; Santos, R.; Dutta, A.; Thimmanagari, M.; Chiang, Y. (2019): Co-Benefits of Wollastonite Weathering in Agriculture: CO 2 Sequestration and Promoted Plant Growth. In: ACS Omega 4 (1), S. 1425–1433. DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.8b02477.

„To lock atmospheric CO₂ at anthropogenic timescale, fast weathering silicates can be applied to soil to speed up natural CO₂ sequestration via enhanced weathering. Agricultural lands offer large area for silicate application, but expected weathering rates as a function of soil and crop type, and potential impacts on the crops, are not well known. This study investigated the role of plants on enhanced weathering of wollastonite (CaSiO₃) in soils.“
