Extended Data Fig. 5: Impact of weathering on the CO2-balance.

From: Co-variation of silicate, carbonate and sulfide weathering drives CO2 release with erosion

Extended Data Fig. 5

Moles of CO2 emitted or sequestered per volume of water plotted against catchment-averaged steepness index (lower x-axis) and inferred erosion rates (upper x-axis) for different scenarios and timescales. a, Impact of weathering reactions only. b, Impact of weathering reactions and carbonate precipitation. c, Impact of only Ca-silicate weathering. Symbols mark dominant lithology (see Fig. 1). Error bars are equivalent to a 95% confidence interval.
