Taylor, L. L.; Driscoll, C. T.; Groffman, P. M.; Rau, G. H.; Blum, J. D.; Beerling, D. J. (2020): Increased carbon capture by a silicate-treated forested watershed affected by acid deposition. In Biogeosciences Discuss 2020, pp. 1–29. DOI: 10.5194/bg-2020-288.

"Here we show that a low 3.44 t ha⁻¹ wollastonite treatment in an 11.8-ha acid-rain-impacted forested watershed in New Hampshire, USA led to cumulative carbon capture by carbonic acid weathering of 0.025–0.13 t CO₂ ha⁻¹ over 15 years."

"Here, an analytical model of the economic effects of global carbon emissions—including scientific uncertainty about BCP sequestration—was developed to estimate the value of marine scientific research concerning sequestration."
