摘要
生物无时无刻不参与地球表层矿物和岩石的风化,但以往的研究大多注重物理风化与化学风化作用,对生物风化作用关注很少。近年的研究表明,动物、植物和微生物均参与了风化过程。研究生物风化作用机理及在生物作用下矿物的演化序列,对于揭示土壤形成、化学元素循环规律、全球环境变化有着极其重要的意义。
Although organisms always participate in the weathering of mineral and rock on the earth surface, much attention was paid to the physical and chemical processes, but little attention to the biological process in previous studies of weathering. Recent studies indicated that all organisms, e. g. , animal, plant, and microbe, might take part in the bio-weathering process. Therefore, studies on the mechanism of bioweathering and the corresponding evolution sequence of mineral will help us in understanding the formation of soil, the environmental cycle of elements, and the global environmental changes.
