Accelerated weathering of silicate rock dusts predicts the slow-release liming in soils depending on rock mineralogy, soil acidity, and test methodology KU Leuven
The ongoing acidification of soil poses a significant threat to the proper functioning of various ecosystems worldwide. Silicate rock dusts (RD) are increasingly amended to acid soils to restore their pH, but the acid neutralising capacity (ANC) and dissolution rate of these products are highly variable and lack proper assessment protocols. It is expected that pH-dependent RD ANCs and dissolution rates dictate the pH increase in soils depending ...
