Root-driven Weathering

Root-Driven Weathering is a biological weathering process in which plant roots mechanically fracture and chemically alter soil and rock matrices through physical penetration and the release of organic acids, distinguishing it from abiotic weathering mechanisms by its reliance on root-mediated biological activity.
