Journal ArticleDOI
Plant impact on the biogeochemical cycle of silicon and related weathering processes
TL;DR: In this article, the contribution of plants to the biogeochemical cycle of Si and related weathering processes was studied in an equatorial rainforest ecosystem (Congo) where the biologic turnover of Si is high (58 to 76 kg/ha/y).
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogenic silica storage in soils
TL;DR: In this article, the role of plants in soil development has become of crucial interest in quantifying global weathering processes and the storage of biogenic silica in soils may be significant and may retard the output of silica to rivers and ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ produced 10Be measurements at great depths: implications for production rates by fast muons
TL;DR: In situ cosmogenic 10Be values have been used to investigate a Brazilian quartz vein from the surface to a depth of 15 m as discussed by the authors, with an attenuation length of 5300±950 g/cm2 and a contribution of 0.65±0.25% to the total surface production.
BookDOI
Phytoliths : applications in earth sciences and human history
TL;DR: A Crumudgeon's View of Grasss Phytolithology as discussed by the authors is a view of grasses in palaeoclimatology and palaeoecology, including the relationship between plants and their environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical and physical erosion rhythms of the West African Cenozoic morphogenesis: The 39 Ar- 40 Ar dating of supergene K-Mn oxides
TL;DR: In this article, a laser probe 39Ar-40Ar dating of generations of cryptomelane [K1-2Mn8O16, nH2O] from the manganese ore deposit of Tambao in northern Burkina Faso is presented.
