Turning rock into soil : variations in soil mineral reactivity, surface area, and porosity through the critical zone

Parry, S.A.; Hodson, M.E.; Oelkers, E.H.; Kemp, S.J. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4604-0927. 2009 Turning rock into soil : variations in soil mineral reactivity, surface area, and porosity through the critical zone. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 73 (19), A996.

Abstract

The breaking down of massive rock into smaller grains
and the resultant increase in mineral surface area, is
potentially the most critical step in soil formation. The aim of
this study is to investigate how mineral surface area and
porosity varies during pedogenesis, and how these variations
in conjucnction with mineralogical changes influence soil
mineral reactivity.
