About this Collection
This Special Issue presents research on the application of isotope geochemistry to understand weathering, nutrient cycling, and biogeochemical fluxes in the Earth's Critical Zone. The studies highlight the role of erosion, vegetation, and geochemical processes in controlling elemental cycling.
