Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have conducted an ecosystem-wide assessment of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) in forest plantations. Led by Dr. Kang Ronghua, the team revealed how the application of finely ground silicate minerals influences soil carbon fluxes and tree growth in a larch plantation in northeastern China. Their findings were published in Forest Ecology and Management on Sept. 5.
