Soil Weathering

Soil weathering is the collective term for the physical and chemical processes that decompose and alter rocks and minerals at or near the Earth's surface. This academic concept investigates the mechanisms, rates, and resulting products of these transformations, emphasizing their fundamental significance in soil formation (pedogenesis), nutrient cycling, and landscape evolution.
