Fig. 3: Bar charts of weathering rates and CO2 fluxes of large river basins originating from the Tibetan Plateau.
From: Refined weathering CO2 budget of the Tibetan Plateau strongly modulated by sulphide oxidation
a The silicate weathering rates (SWR, red bar) and carbonate weathering rates (CWR, blue bar). b The CO2 fluxes of silicate weathering (SW, red bar), carbonate weathering (CW, blue bar), carbonate weathering by sulfuric acid (CW by H2SO4, green bar), and the net value (purple bar). Results and raw data for river downstream: refs. 37,38 for the downstream Huang River; ref. 28 for the Yangtze River; refs. 39,40,41 for the Mekong River, Salween River, and Irrawaddy River; ref. 26 and refs. 42,43 for the Brahmaputra River and Ganges River; ref. 44 for the Red River; refs. 24,25 for Indus river, respectively.
