Study Assesses Impact of Climate Change on Silicate Carbon Weathering Sink

The global carbon cycle has been influenced by silicate carbon weathering sink (SCS)—the net carbon sink—for a period of more than millions of years. But the spatial pattern, magnitude, and evolution properties of global SCS are still not clear.
