Fig. 1: Calcite dissolution rates under varying saturation states and surface treatments.
From: In-situ laboratory monitoring of cyanobacterial influence on calcite dissolution
Calcite surface retreat, measured as the height difference between the inert quartz reference and the reactive calcite surface, is plotted as a function of time. A Untreated calcite at Ω = 0.0; B untreated calcite at Ω = 0.3; C pre-etched calcite at Ω = 0.0. Dotted lines show linear regressions, and their slopes represent the calcite dissolution rate for each condition.
