Rates of calcium carbonate removal from soils.
Mean annual rates of calcium carbonate removal from soils in a subarctic climate estimated from data on two chronosequences of calcareous storm ridges, appeared to be relatively constant through time. Concentrations of dissolved calcium carbonate in the soil solution in the study sites calculated fr...

Mean annual rates of calcium carbonate removal from soils in a subarctic climate estimated from data on two chronosequences of calcareous storm ridges, appeared to be relatively constant through time.

The same conclusion could be drawn from published studies elsewhere. Over a wide range of conditions, the dissolution rate of calcite appears to be high enough to maintain equilibrium concentrations in water percolating calcareous soils and rocks.
