Relative concentrations τi,j of the most weathering relevant elements and minerals. Titanium (upper right graph) is used as the “immobile element i” in the calculations. The vertical lines at τj = 0 separates the concentration values into losses (τj < 0) and gains (τj > 0) relative to the parent rock. τj = −1 indicates complete loss of j. Here a weathering zone (WZ) is defined as the interval between τj = −1 and 0, and weathering front is at τj = 0 (where τj value crossing the vertical line). The horizontal orange band marks the depth range of weathering fronts of the four PLM locations along the hillslope flow transect.
