| Summary: | "Soil formation through biogeochemical weathering is a fundamental process in the establishment of vegetation on continents as well as in the global carbon and nitrogen cycles, with further relevance to climate change and mass extinctions. The fate of water arriving at the terrestrial surface is concluded at shallow depths, mostly within the top few meters, where plants and the sun extract water through the processes of evapo-transpiration, and the remainder runs off or replenishes groundwater. Hydrogeology, Chemical Weathering and Soil Formation focuses on a vast range of time and spatial scales involved in soil processes, as well as its complexity and many-faceted nature"-- |
