| 英文摘要 | The weathering of silicate rocks exerts a significant control on the weathering fluxes of metals and atmospheric CO2 consumption. In this study, we present new magnesium (Mg) isotope data from a basalt weathering profile in Hainan Island, South China, to investigate Mg isotope fractionation and calculate weathering fluxes and CO2 consumption. The Mg mobility (tau(Mg,Ti)) in saprolites decreases from -34.1% to -95.7%. The delta Mg-26 values in saprolites vary from -0.25 +/- 0.07 parts per thousand to 0.43 +/- 0.07 parts per thousand, higher than those of the parent rock (-0.25 +/- 0.07 parts per thousand). The significant Mg loss during the formation and decomposition of clay minerals influences Mg isotope fractionation, particularly with changes in kaolinite structure under different pH conditions, which prefer heavy Mg isotopes. By applying a mass balance model, we have developed a novel method to calculate weathering fluxes based on the weathering profile, yielding Mg elemental fluxes (Mg-Flux) of 2.45-5.85 mol/cm(2)/Myr, Mg isotopic fluxes (delta Mg-26(Flux)) of -0.44 to -0.04 parts per thousand/mol/cm(2)/Myr, and CO2 consumption of 2.3 x 10(12) mol/yr for the weathering outputs of basaltic rocks. This highlights the crucial role of basalt weathering in global carbon sequestration. Our findings improve the understanding of Mg cycling and isotope fractionation in epigenetic environments and facilitate the quantification of weathering fluxes and atmospheric CO2 consumption during basalt weathering. |
