Silicate weathering indexes of a red clay and loess–paleosol sequences from the Chinese Loess Plateau

This table comprises three data sheets. The first sheet presents the carbonate concentration, silicate mineral concentrations in carbonate-free samples, and the rate of CO₂ consumption by silicate weathering (RCO₂) for a red clay and loess-paleosol sequence from the central Chinese Loess Plateau. The second sheet provides data on the mean annual CO₂ consumption flux by silicate chemical weathering (CO₂(SiW)) for the CLP and for other global semi-arid and arid, eolian-dominated regions since 4.0 Ma.

The third sheet provides data on the mean annual CO₂ consumption flux by silicate chemical weathering (CO₂(SiW)) for the CLP and for other global semi-arid and arid, eolian-dominated regions since 4.0 Ma using the method proposed by France-Lanord and Derry (1997).
