Estimating weathering rates using base cation budgets in a Norway spruce stand on podzolised soil: Analysis of fluxes and uncertainties

• We calculated weathering rates by cation budgets in a replicated forest experiment. • A method was developed to analyse uncertainties in the cation budgets. • Uncertainties in non-replicated data may be crucial for some terms in a budget. • Overall uncertainties were often greater than the weather...

• We calculated weathering rates by cation budgets in a replicated forest experiment. • A method was developed to analyse uncertainties in the cation budgets. • Uncertainties in non-replicated data may be crucial for some terms in a budget. • Overall uncertainties were often greater than the weathering rate itself. • Budgeted weathering rates are uncertain on soils with a low weathering capacity.
