Weathering Potential

Weathering Potential is a geochemical construct that quantifies the inherent capacity of parent materials to undergo chemical decomposition and transformation into soil under specific environmental conditions, distinguishing it from other pedogenic factors by its focus on mineralogical reactivity and compositional susceptibility to weathering processes.
