...Indeed, the consumption of CO2 by chemicalweathering of silicate rocks over geological time has played a key role in climate regulation (Berner et al., 1983; Dessert et al., 2003)....

...Recently, more attention has been paid to the suspended sediment transported by rivers in relation to silicate weathering, which represents a critical step in long-term climate moderation (Gaillardet et al., 1999; Dessert et al., 2003; Gislason et al., 2006)....

...Implication of basalt weathering in global silicate CO2 consumption The global flux of atmospheric CO2 consumption rates due to silicate weathering has been determined by different methods (Holland, 1978; Berner et al., 1983; Meybeck, 1987; Amiotte-Suchet and Probst, 1995; Gaillardet et al., 1999)....

...The relationship initially observed between chemical and physical weathering rates of the large rivers (Gaillardet et al., 1999) and on small rivers draining one rock type (Millot et al....

...This explains why the currently available chemical data from rivers do not allow precise estimates of the global weathering flux coming from basalts and why these small ‘‘basaltic’’ rivers are not taken into account in global budgets (Berner et al., 1983; Meybeck, 1987; Gaillardet et al., 1999)....

...The surface of total volcanic islands was taken from the estimate of Gaillardet et al. (1999) of 1.5 106 km2 which corresponds to the surface of oceanic and arc islands including all small islands as well as larger regions as Kamchatka, Iceland, and Indonesia (total area of 1.1 106 km2)....
