Theoretical studies underscore enhanced silicate weathering’s (ESW) substantial potential for CDR and its diverse benefits for crops when applied to croplands. However, the well-known significant discrepancies in silicate weathering rates between laboratory and field conditions introduce uncertainty in CDR through ESW. By compiling data from recent literature, the authors calculated and compared CDR efficiency (t CO2 tsilicate−1 ha−1 y−1) observed in mesocosm experiments and field trials.
