Abstract

The sensitivity of the global river-borne flux of Ca2+ to atmospheric PCO₂ was obtained from model simulations under the assumption of saturation of CaCO₃. The response was subdivided into contributions from changes in runoff, temperature and partial CO, pressure and these were then used to parameterize the different direct and indirect effects of a changing climate on carbonate weathering and equilibria. The parameterizations are comparable/compatible to those of Walker et at. (1981) for silicate weathering, but are taken directly from models demonstrating the potential of this approach in weathering studies. [References: 10]
