Chemical weathering and CO consumption in the upper Nyong Basin rivers (Central Africa): Insights on climatic and anthropogenic forcing in humid tropical environments.

A hydrological and hydrochemical database (produced by the M-TROPICS critical zone observatory) in the upper Nyong Basin from 1998 to 2017 was used to evaluate the river's response to climatic and anthropogenic forcing and examine chemical weathering processes. SiO and HCO constitute about 85 % of the Total dissolved solids (TDS) load, equivalent to 0.12 × 10 kg.
