Description:
Weathering of silicate minerals is the major sink for atmospheric CO2 on geological time scales.
It has commonly been assumed that this process is only occurring on land. New results,
however, show that silicate minerals are also reactive within marine sediments. Most of the
metabolic CO2 being produced in marine sediments enriched in organic matter is consumed by
this reaction with major implications for the geological carbon cycle.
