Van Der Bauwhede et al. (2024): Accelerated weathering of silicate rock dusts predicts the slow-release liming in soils depending on rock mineralogy, soil acidity, and test methodology

This study addressed these questions by comparing and validating three accelerated weathering tests for their capacity to predict the gradual liming effects in a two-year outdoor mesocosm. Five commercial RDs (two basalts, phonolite, foidite, and trachy-andesite) were tested in four acidified forest soils varying in initial pH, in texture and associated pH buffer power.
