测量了喀斯特地区乌江、沅江两大水系的河流枯水期的主元素、Sr2+离子浓度和Sr同位素比值。这些河流的化学组成代表了流经碳酸盐岩地层的河水的化学组成。这些河流及其支流有高的溶解盐,TZ+变化范围为:2.1~6.3 meq/L,高于全球河流的平均值(TZ+=0.725 meq/L)。河水含有较高的溶质浓度,河水水化学组成以Ca2+和HCO-3为主,其次为Mg2+和SO2-4,Na++K+和Cl-+Si分别只占阳离子和阴离子组成的5%~10%。 这些河流的化学和同位素组成主要受其自流盆地的地质特征控制。流经碳酸盐岩地层的乌江水系河流具有较高的Sr浓度(1.1~9.70 mol/L)和较低的87Sr/86Sr比值(0.7077~0.7110),与流经碎屑岩地层的沅江水系的清水江河流中较高的87Sr/86Sr比值(0.7090~0.7145)及较低的Sr浓度(0.28~1.32 mol/L)形成鲜明的对比。 流域盆地的地理岩性控制了河水的化学组成和同位素组成。对河水的化学计量分析表明河水化学组成受碳酸盐岩溶解控制,而碳酸盐岩主要受碳酸和硫酸作用而溶解。乌江流域受硫酸作用特别明显,表明硫酸主要来源于燃煤或流域盆地硫化物矿物氧化而形成的大气输入。化学元素和同位素比值之间的相互关系表明3个主要来源为:石灰岩、白云岩和硅酸盐岩的风化。同时估计了碳酸盐岩和硅酸盐岩的化学风化速率,结果表明流域盆地的碳酸盐岩风化速率远远高于许多世界大河。岩石风化过程中硫酸的出现或土地的过度使用或土壤植被的退化等都可能是导致流域的碳酸盐岩风化速率如此高的原因。   相似文献

文章选择深圳市的亚热带典型小流域作为研究对象,通过定期采集流域内降水、泉水、岩石及风化残积土样品,分析所有样品的常量元素和微量元素,探讨流域水体的化学成分组成和主要成分来源以及岩石化学风化程度和风化趋势,结合流域水文气象数据估算了花岗岩化学风化速率及CO2消耗速率。结果表明,研究区地下水化学类型为HCO3-Na型,主要受控于硅酸盐矿物的风化溶解作用和阳离子交换作用。花岗岩的化学蚀变指数(CIA)为47.15~57.47,残积土的CIA为59.24~82.71。A-CN-K三角图指示风化初期Na,Ca活泼性元素流失,风化中后期K元素流失,Al元素逐渐富集。花岗岩的平均化学风化速率为14.40 m/Myr。岩性、离子径流通量和气候条件的不同可能是造成化学风化速率差异的主要原因。大气酸沉降对岩石风化的贡献约占总化学风化量的11.73%。研究区平均CO2消耗速率为0.59×106 mol/(km2 yr),酸雨使得岩石在风化过程中对大气/土壤中CO2的消耗减少。  相似文献

深时古气候的恢复与分析,对于预测未来气候的变化有非常重要的作用。陆相气候的恢复对于全球古气候带的划分、海陆气候差异的比较和气候模型的建立有重要的作用。气候敏感性沉积物的出现可以指示一定程度的气候信息。化学风化程度与气候密切相关,越强烈的化学风化指示越温暖湿润的气候。泥岩化学风化程度的评价有基于地球化学特征建立的指数(CIA、WIP、CIW、PIA、钠亏损指数(τNa))和非常规稳定同位素特征,还有基于泥岩矿物学特征的研究方法:矿物成熟度、黏土矿物的含量及组合和磁性矿物的组成。湖泊沉积岩古气候分析方法有基于元素比值变化和基于高精度天文轨道周期性分析的古气候变化研究。通过古土壤可以根据其淀积层的埋深定量恢复古降水量;黏土矿物、成土方解石、铁锰质结核和淀积层土壤基质的地球化学特征可以恢复古温度、古降水量和古大气二氧化碳浓度(p CO2)。目前对陆相沉积岩和古土壤已经有了比较丰富的研究,但未来还需要更多分辨率更高的陆相古气候分析方法建立和完善。  相似文献

热带地区火山岛/岛弧的化学风化对全球碳循环和海水的Sr同位素演化均有着重要的作用。文章对中国热带海南岛的玄武岩、花岗岩小流域和大河流域进行了河水、地下水、雨水以及基岩和沉积物的综合研究,分析了水样和固体样品的元素含量和Sr同位素比值。结果显示,河床沉积物的化学蚀变指数(CIA)与87Sr/86Sr之间存在着一定的变化关系,而这主要归因于沉积物的阶段性差异风化:风化早期阶段以黑云母占主导,87Sr/86Sr较高。此后斜长石开始风化,87Sr/86Sr逐渐下降。在风化程度中等阶段,斜长石大量分解后,各种富钾矿物风化加剧,87Sr/86Sr值升至最高点。在高风化程度阶段,随着富钾矿物逐渐减少,稳定的风化残余物质占据主导,87Sr/86Sr值逐渐下降。与年轻的活火山岛——加勒比海小安的列斯群岛和印度洋的留尼汪岛相比(其地下化学风化速率2~5倍于地表风化速率),由于相对较低的降水量和老死火山低的孔隙度,海南岛地下水的流量和固溶物总量(TDS)要低的多,导致海南岛的地下化学风化速率低于地表风化速率,仅与高纬的俄罗斯堪察加活火山岛相近,为小安的列斯群岛和留尼汪岛的约6%~25%,属于全球地下风化贡献最低的区域之一。海南岛玄武岩区的地表化学风化和CO2消耗速率高于法国中央高原和西伯利亚,略低于夏威夷和德干,而显著小于东南亚的爪哇岛和 吕宋岛。在温度相近的条件下,径流量对化学风化速率有着非常明显的控制作用。由于较低的年径流量,热带区域的海南岛,其对大气CO2的消耗能力只是处于一个全球平均的范围内。  相似文献

石灰岩化学风化显著控制着其所在流域盆地的河水Sr同位素组成,进而制约全球Sr循环。然而,石灰岩化学风化过程中Sr同位素组成的变化特征及其控制机制的研究报道依旧很少。本文通过报道粤北地区一个典型石灰岩风化剖面的Sr同位素组成变化特征,试图探讨石灰岩化学风化过程中Sr同位素变化的控制机制。结果显示:该剖面上,~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr比值介于0.70979~0.72216之间;自剖面底部到顶部,~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr比值呈现出逐渐增大的趋势;Nd同位素组成比较均一(εNd(t)=–15.0±0.5)。研究区的潜在源区(如大气降水、地表水),其~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr比值明显低于该剖面上部的最大值,加之,该剖面的风化产物与典型的中国黄土剖面具有截然不同的Sr-Nd同位素组成,暗示了这些潜在源区的输入不大可能造成该剖面上Sr同位素组成发生显著的变化。该剖面上~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr比值与Sr含量之间呈现显著的负相关性(r=–0.95),暗示粤北石灰岩化学风化过程中Sr同位素的演化受控于碳酸盐矿物与硅酸盐矿物在抗风化强度以及Sr同位素组成方面的显著差异:相对硅酸盐矿物,碳酸盐矿物(如方解石)抗风化强度较弱,于是随着风化作用的进行,原岩中具有较低~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr比值的方解石中的Sr大量迁出剖面,而具有较高~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr比值的硅酸盐矿物中的Sr残留在风化产物中,因此,随着风化强度的增加,风化产物中的~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr比值呈现出逐渐增大的趋势。  相似文献

风化作用是源-汇沉积体系中的重要环节,气候、构造、地形、植被和岩性在不同程度上控制着地表硅酸盐化学风化,量化硅酸盐化学风化强度有助于开展全球性的实例研究对比。本研究归纳总结了基于碎屑沉积物的化学风化强度指标,包括岩石学和矿物学指标、元素地球化学指标和非传统稳定同位素指标,并指出了指标在应用中存在的问题。这些指标中:砂质沉积物骨架颗粒组成、粉砂级碎屑的矿物组成和矿物表面结构特征从矿物组成和结构上直观地反映了化学风化强度,运用不多但值得关注;黏土矿物组合和主微量元素指标如CIA、Rb/Sr、αAlE等在实例研究中运用广泛,同时也显现出易受物源和水动力分选影响等弊端;新近开发的利用锂、硼、钾、镁、硅等同位素示踪化学风化强度的方法具有广阔的应用前景,同位素的分馏机理有待完善。源-汇体系中的其他过程如物源供给、水动力分选、成岩作用、再旋回作用、成土作用、物理淋滤和生物利用等会影响化学风化指标的使用效果,通过多指标的综合运用和相互验证,可以有效提升化学风化强度评估的准确性。  相似文献

西江干流河水主要离子及锶同位素地球化学组成特征   总被引:8,自引:1,他引:7  
水环境中锶(Sr)含量及其同位素组成特征的研究有助于认识区域水文地球化学特征及流域盆地岩石风化速率等地球化学行为,因此河流环境中Sr的地球化学行为是地球化学研究的重要课题之一。对中国南方西江干流及其支流河水主要阴阳离子及sr同位素组成进行了分析,发现其水化学组成主要以Ca^2+、Mg^2+、HCO3^-和SO4^2-离子为主,分别占阴阳离子组成的80%以上。郁江河水具有较高的Sr同位素比值(^87St/^86Sr=0.71049)和较低的Sr含量(0.0263mg/L),而西江河水具有较低的Sr同位素比值以及较高的Sr含量,其Sr含量变化范围在0.0667.0.187mg/L之间,平均含量为0.136mg/L;Sr同位素比值变化范围在0.70856.0.70936之间,平均比值为0.70894。与世界主要河流水体中Sr含量平均值(0.078mg/L)及Sr同位素比值(^87Sr/^86Sr=0.7119)相比,西江干流水体具有较高的Sr含量及较低的Sr同位素比值。两条河流河水中主要离子及Sr的来源存在显著差异,西江干流河水中的主要溶解离子及Sr同位素主要源于碳酸盐岩(石灰岩和白云岩)的风化作用,主要受黔江及其上游红水河等化学组成所控制,而郁江则主要受碎屑岩风化作用的影响;同时,中上游地区的酸沉降及人类活动的输入可能导致西江干流水体受到一定程度的污染,而郁江受污染程度则相对较小。  相似文献

锶是自然界广泛分布的微量元素,在生物、化学及地质过程中不易发生分馏作用,具有很好的地球化学指示意义.尤其在水文地球化学研究中,由于不同岩石锶含量不同,大气降水降落在地面后流经不同岩石,致使地表水中锶元素浓度和同位素比值不同.因此,通过研究河水中锶元素的地球化学行为,可以帮助我们探究河流集水处矿物化学风化速率、气候变化、上地壳化学特征、同位素组成以及陆地-河流-海洋之间的营养元素循环等等[1,2].  相似文献

以峡东地区南华纪、震旦纪和寒武纪标准地层泥岩、冰碛泥岩、砂岩、灰岩和白云质灰岩及对应的风化土壤为研究对象, 分析了地层风化成土过程中不同元素的迁移行为, 根据剖面样品的Sr-Nd同位素组成变化, 探讨了其同位素体系的封闭性特征与应用意义.结果表明: (1) 不同岩性基岩在成土过程中的蚀变强度有明显的差异, 在相似地表条件下, 碳酸岩风化剖面的风化程度高于泥质岩和砂岩; (2) 通过对比稳定高场强Ti元素在基岩和风化剖面中的含量变化, 计算出土壤样品在风化过程中体积相对基岩发生的改变量, 进而计算出不同岩性基岩在风化过程中微量元素的绝对含量变化以探讨这些元素的活动规律.结果表明, 灰岩和白云质灰岩的风化剖面元素含量变化明显, 而在泥质岩风化过程中大多数元素保持了相对稳定, 说明沉积岩风化过程中元素的活动性特征明显地受到了原岩矿物组成的制约.风化过程中, 不同性质的元素的活动性差异明显, 其中亲硫元素(Cu、Zn、Pb、Mo) 和大离子亲石元素(Rb、K、Sr、Ba) 在不同岩性的风化剖面中均表现出明显的元素含量变化, 而高场强元素(Zr、Hf、Nb、Ta) 含量则相对稳定; (3) 泥质岩风化形成的土壤层REE含量变化较小, 而碳酸岩风化土壤层REE含量发生了明显下降, 且其风化形成的土壤表现出LREE和HREE相对于MREE的富集.无论是碳酸岩或泥质岩风化形成的土壤, 均出现了明显的Eu负异常和Ce的正异常, 但在其原岩中这些异常并不存在或不明显; (4) 基岩与土壤剖面间Sr同位素组成和Rb/Sr比值存在明显差异, Rb-Sr同位素组成发生了明显的开放.所形成土壤层的Sr同位素组成受到2种因素的约束: 原岩性质和外来组成的Sr同位素比值.因此在总体上, 风化土壤的Sr同位素组成已不能代表基岩的Sr同位素组成; (5) 沉积岩风化过程中, 碳酸岩和泥质岩形成的风化土壤基本保持了原岩的Sm-Nd同位素组成特点, 由其组成所获得的Nd同位素亏损地幔模式年龄等能反映其原岩信息, 而近源沉积形成的砂岩和含砾冰碛泥岩所形成的土壤, 其Nd同位素组成则存在不同程度的改变.   相似文献

Mineral weathering rates for two chronosequences of soils have been calculated using an empirical method based on mineralogy, the depletion of elements relative to a conservative element and the computer model PROFILE. Weathering rates calculated by the empirical and depletion methods showed a decrease in rates with soil age whilst those calculated using the PROFILE model showed an increase with soil age. The counter intuitive PROFILE prediction is due to the use of surface area—normalised reaction rate coefficients which assume that: 1) mineral reactivity is constant with time and, 2) total mineral surface area is equivalent to reactive surface area.In Europe, mineral weathering rates in soils are an important input in determining levels of acid deposition above which ecosystem damage will occur (critical loads). As soils in Great Britain and much of NW Europe can range in age from <103 to >105 a, it is suggested that, until computer models can take account of soil age and the concomitant changes in mineral reactivity and surface area, modelled weathering rates will be subject to large uncertainties  相似文献

Recently there has been growing interest in, and use of, the PROFILE model, principally through the role of weathering rates in determining critical loads. In many cases the accuracy of the data used to run the model is not quoted. A simple sensitivity analysis of the model has been carried out by varying the input data one at a time in a systematic fashion. The variation in weathering rate that this generates for monomineralic soil profiles and for a soil profile from an acid sensitive forested catchment in Scotland has been recorded. Variations in weathering rates of over 100% can be generated using ranges of input parameters measured in field studies. The model broadly predicts the relative ease of weathering of the different minerals. Minerals which are particularly sensitive to input variations have been identified, e.g. Kfeldspar. Some input parameters exert a larger influence on the weathering rate as calculated by the model than others. The most sensitive input data are soil temperature, moisture content and exposed mineral surface area. The least sensitive input data are cation load and precipitation rate.  相似文献

Solute-based geochemical mass balance methods are commonly used in small-watershed studies to estimate rates of a variety of geochemical processes at the Earth’s surface, including primary-mineral weathering and soil formation, and the quantitative contribution of these elemental transfer processes to cation budgets, nutrient cycling, and landscape susceptibility to acid deposition. Weathering rates of individual minerals in watershed mass-balance studies are determined by solving a system of simultaneous linear geochemical mass-balance equations with constant (stoichiometric) coefficients. These equations relate the measured net fluxes to the (known) stoichiometries and (unknown) rates of weathering reactions for multiple minerals in the weathering profiles. Solving the system of equations requires petrologic, mineralogic, hydrologic, botanical, and aqueous geochemical data. The number of mineral-weathering rates that can be determined is limited by the number of elements for which solute mass-balance equations can be written. In addition to calculating mineral weathering rates, elemental transfer into or out of the biomass may also be calculated. Elemental uptake by aggrading forest vegetation can act as an intrawatershed sink for at least some mineral-derived cations, producing mineral weathering rates higher than would be estimated from solute fluxes alone; similarly, element release from decaying forest biomass can result in higher solute fluxes than are produced by weathering alone. The mathematics of, significant contributions from, role of biomass in, and recent advances in, watershed geochemical mass-balance methods are discussed using examples from the Appalachian headwaters watersheds of the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory in the southern Blue Ridge Physiographic Province of North Carolina, USA.  相似文献

选择海螺沟冰川退缩区,对冰川退缩年龄分别为0年、30年、40年、52年、80年、120年的样点按土壤发生层分层采集样品,通过分析样品的化学风化速率及理化性质变化,探讨小冰期结束以来土壤发育过程及影响因素,并评估不同阶段土壤质量。结果表明,退缩区前40年样点中主要以碳酸盐风化为主,80年后硅酸盐风化作用增强。土壤长期风化速率随土壤年龄呈现升高-降低-升高的趋势,52年样点长期风化速率最低,为48.06cmol/(m^2·a),矿物组成和气候是影响土壤风化速率的重要原因。土壤的粒度组成以砂粒为主,多数样点占比约为80%~90%。随着土壤年龄增加,容重值和pH减小,pH从8.54减小到5左右;土层厚度、土壤有机质(SOC)及总氮(TN)含量增加,这些土壤理化指标的快速变化表明冰川退缩区土壤发育迅速。适宜的温度、充足的降水以及快速的植被演替可能是退缩区土壤快速发育的原因。模糊数学法计算土壤质量的结果显示,除了0年样点,其余样点土壤质量指数(SQI)均大于0.4,说明退缩区土壤质量状况整体属于中等水平,土壤肥力状况较好。研究结果有助于揭示土壤矿物风化过程和土壤发育的影响因素,理解土壤发育机制。  相似文献

The steady-state soil chemistry model PROFILE was used to calculate the chemical status of forest soils under present deposition loads for two areas with dissimilar ecosystem properties. Two regions in Switzerland, with contrasting bedrock geology were selected to be investigated in detail: 88 locations in the Jura Mountains, representative for carbonate bedrock and 91 locations in the Ticino Area dominated by metamorphic crystalline host rocks. Weathering rates calculated for the key regions cover the tremendous range between 0.013 and 25 keq ha−1 yr−1. In the Ticino Area, the effect of increased abundance of relatively fast weathering silicates (epidote, hornblende and plagioclase) on the weathering rate is apparently masked by the total effects of the physical conditions applied and by the variation in the deposition load. In the Jura Mountains, generally high weathering rates occur with about 50% of the sites yielding rates above 1 keq ha−1 yr−1. In many of the sites investigated, however, carbonates have already been dissolved completely in the soil horizons of interest resulting in very low weathering rates. The critical load of actual acidity was calculated according to: CLAcidity=RWeathering−ANCLeaching, where alkalinity leaching is estimated by keeping the base cation to aluminum molar ratio at the critical limit of 1 at steady-state. The minimum critical load calculated was 0.2 keq ha−1 yr−1 and the maximum was 6.2 keq ha−1 yr−1. Comparing the cumulative frequency distributions of critical loads of actual acidity for forest soils in the individual areas it can be seen that the differences between the key regions are less substantial than with the weathering rates. Critical loads of acidity for the Ticino Area range from 1 to 3.9 keq ha−1 yr−1. Sites yielding the lowest critical loads of acidity are observed in the Jura Mountains. Among these apparent sensitive soils are soils with intermediate or high weathering rates, although it has depleted topsoil layers. Within the context of this model application, it becomes apparent that the sensitivity of these soils with respect to acidification is also governed by the alkalinity leaching term and not only by the susceptibility of its minerals to weathering.  相似文献

Geochemistry of soil, soil water, and soil gas was characterized in representative soil profiles of three Michigan watersheds. Because of differences in source regions, parent materials in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (the Tahquamenon watershed) contain only silicates, while those in the Lower Peninsula (the Cheboygan and the Huron watersheds) have significant mixtures of silicate and carbonate minerals. These differences in soil mineralogy and climate conditions permit us to examine controls on carbonate and silicate mineral weathering rates and to better define the importance of silicate versus carbonate dissolution in the early stage of soil-water cation acquisition.Soil waters of the Tahquamenon watershed are the most dilute; solutes reflect amphibole and plagioclase dissolution along with significant contributions from atmospheric precipitation sources. Soil waters in the Cheboygan and the Huron watersheds begin their evolution as relatively dilute solutions dominated by silicate weathering in shallow carbonate-free soil horizons. Here, silicate dissolution is rapid and reaction rates dominantly are controlled by mineral abundances. In the deeper soil horizons, silicate dissolution slows down and soil-water chemistry is dominated by calcite and dolomite weathering, where solutions reach equilibrium with carbonate minerals within the soil profile. Thus, carbonate weathering intensities are dominantly controlled by annual precipitation, temperature and soil pCO2. Results of a conceptual model support these field observations, implying that dolomite and calcite are dissolving at a similar rate, and further dissolution of more soluble dolomite after calcite equilibrium produces higher dissolved inorganic carbon concentrations and a Mg2+/Ca2+ ratio of 0.4.Mass balance calculations show that overall, silicate minerals and atmospheric inputs generally contribute <10% of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in natural waters. Dolomite dissolution appears to be a major process, rivaling calcite dissolution as a control on divalent cation and inorganic carbon contents of soil waters. Furthermore, the fraction of Mg2+ derived from silicate mineral weathering is much smaller than most of the values previously estimated from riverine chemistry.  相似文献

Weathering in an upland catchment on granitic parent material has been studied by chemical and mineralogical analyses of soils. Long-term weathering rates for base cations, calculated from chemical analyses of the mineral horizons from soil profiles using Zr as an internal, immobile, index element, are among the smallest recorded for Scottish soils (1.7–3.1 meq m−2 a−1), indicating that these soils are susceptible to acid deposition. Sodium is the base cation lost to the greatest extent from the soils, due to weathering of plagioclase feldspar, mainly in the coarse size-fractions. Calcium is lost not only from plagioclase feldspar, but also from hornblende, grains of which show dissolution etch pits and denticulate surface features when examined by scanning electron microscopy. Weathering of hornblende, present in basic inclusions in the granite, is a significant weathering process in these soils. A range of values for 87Sr/86Sr ratios in stream-waters confirms the spatial variability of the material supplying Ca to the streams. The current weathering rate, calculated from input–output budgets to be 28.9 meq m−2 a−1, is much greater than the long-term weathering rate, but small compared to other catchments on similar parent material.  相似文献

发育完整的灰岩风化壳及其矿物学和地球化学特征   总被引:25,自引:5,他引:20  
对于碳酸盐岩土覆土壤成因、尽管碳酸盐岩风化残积成土说被多数学者认同,但由于碳酸盐岩中酸不溶物含量极低,在风化成土过程中会伴随着巨大的体积缩小变化,原岩结构和半风化带无法保留,从而缺失了探索上覆土壤物质来源的重要中间环节,使得这种观点缺乏野外宏观证据的支持。最近,我们在贵州、湖南等地发现了数个以泥质灰岩和泥质白云岩为基岩的碳酸盐岩风化壳剖面,尚保留有较好的原岩结构,具有明显的风化壳分带和过渡现象。这些风化壳剖面的发现为深入研究碳酸盐岩风化成土过程提供了良好的研究场所。本文选取了较为典型的吉首泥灰岩风化壳剖面,从矿物学地球化学的角度来探讨碳酸盐岩风化壳的形成过程和发育特征,结果表明该风化壳既遵循非碳酸盐岩(主要是结晶岩类)风化壳的发育特征,也具有自己独特的地球化学演化规律。风化壳总体特点受碳酸盐中的酸不溶物矿物组合及化学成分的影响甚至控制,风化非碳酸盐风壳相似的发育特征。吉首泥灰岩风化壳剖面的发育特征和作者早先提出 的碳酸盐岩风化成土的两阶段模式是一致的,即以碳酸盐矿物大量淋失、酸不溶物逐渐堆积或残积为特征的早期阶段和残积物进一步风化成土的阶段,后一阶段的演化类似非碳酸盐岩类的风化过程。  相似文献

In order to explore the reasons for the apparent discrepancy between laboratory and field weathering rates and to determine the extent to which weathering rates are controlled by the approach to thermodynamic equilibrium, secondary mineral precipitation, and flow rates, a multicomponent reactive transport model (CrunchFlow) was used to interpret soil profile development and mineral precipitation and dissolution rates at the 226 ka Marine Terrace Chronosequence near Santa Cruz, CA. Aqueous compositions, fluid chemistry, transport, and mineral abundances are well characterized [White A. F., Schulz M. S., Vivit D. V., Blum A., Stonestrom D. A. and Anderson S. P. (2008) Chemical weathering of a Marine Terrace Chronosequence, Santa Cruz, California. I: interpreting the long-term controls on chemical weathering based on spatial and temporal element and mineral distributions. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta72 (1), 36-68] and were used to constrain the reaction rates for the weathering and precipitating minerals in the reactive transport modeling. When primary mineral weathering rates are calculated with either of two experimentally determined rate constants, the nonlinear, parallel rate law formulation of Hellmann and Tisserand [Hellmann R. and Tisserand D. (2006) Dissolution kinetics as a function of the Gibbs free energy of reaction: An experimental study based on albite feldspar. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta70 (2), 364-383] or the aluminum inhibition model proposed by Oelkers et al. [Oelkers E. H., Schott J. and Devidal J. L. (1994) The effect of aluminum, pH, and chemical affinity on the rates of aluminosilicate dissolution reactions. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta58 (9), 2011-2024], modeling results are consistent with field-scale observations when independently constrained clay precipitation rates are accounted for. Experimental and field rates, therefore, can be reconciled at the Santa Cruz site.Additionally, observed maximum clay abundances in the argillic horizons occur at the depth and time where the reaction fronts of the primary minerals overlap. The modeling indicates that the argillic horizon at Santa Cruz can be explained almost entirely by weathering of primary minerals and in situ clay precipitation accompanied by undersaturation of kaolinite at the top of the profile. The rate constant for kaolinite precipitation was also determined based on model simulations of mineral abundances and dissolved Al, SiO2(aq) and pH in pore waters. Changes in the rate of kaolinite precipitation or the flow rate do not affect the gradient of the primary mineral weathering profiles, but instead control the rate of propagation of the primary mineral weathering fronts and thus total mass removed from the weathering profile. Our analysis suggests that secondary clay precipitation is as important as aqueous transport in governing the amount of dissolution that occurs within a profile because clay minerals exert a strong control over the reaction affinity of the dissolving primary minerals. The modeling also indicates that the weathering advance rate and the total mass of mineral dissolved is controlled by the thermodynamic saturation of the primary dissolving phases plagioclase and K-feldspar, as is evident from the difference in propagation rates of the reaction fronts for the two minerals despite their very similar kinetic rate laws.  相似文献
