Sulphuric acid-mediated weathering on Taiwan buffers geological atmospheric carbon sinks

Abstract The chemical composition of the Gaoping River in Taiwan reflects the weathering of both silicate and carbonate rocks found in its metasedimentary catchment. Major dissolved ion chemistry and radiocarbon signatures of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) reveal the importance of pyrite-derived s...
