TL;DR: In this article, newly compiled data on the 60 largest rivers of the world are used to calculate the contribution of main lithologies, rain and atmosphere to river dissolved loads, and the relationship between the chemical weathering rates of silicates and the possible controlling parameters are explored.

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical weathering of basalts and the flux of carbon transferred from the atmosphere to the ocean during this major process at the surface of the Earth were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the recent literature on trace elements in rivers, in particular by incorporating the results derived from recent ICP-MS measurements, and the basic questions which they want to address are the following: What are the trace element levels in river waters? What controls their abundance in rivers and fractionation in the weathering+transport system?

TL;DR: A new database on the chemical composition of suspended matter in World Rivers, together with the associated elemental fluxes is presented, showing that riverine fluxes are similar to anthropogenic fluxes, which casts light on the effect of human activities on the cycles of trace elements at the Earth's surface.

TL;DR: In this article, major and trace element data on the suspended and dissolved phases of the Amazon River and its main tributaries are presented, where the proportions derived from different sources are calculated.
