New estimate of chemical weathering rate in Xijiang River Basin based on multi-model

Abstract Hydrochemistry and Sr isotope compositions were measured in water samples collected during high- and low-water periods from the main stream and tributaries of the Xijiang River Basin in southern China. The primary weathering end-members were analyzed and calculated using the multi-model com...
