Abstract
Results from weathering budgets and input-output budgets of sealed catchments and soil columns are reviewed in order to estimate naturally occuring rates of silicate weathering. Both approaches show limitations, the former because of uncertain methodology and homogeneity of soils, the latter because of disequilibria in the cation store of vegetation, humus layer and exchange pool. Results indicate that Holocene and present-day rates of basic cation release from weathering appear to be similar (0,4 – 1.0 kEq.ha–1.yr–1).
