Abstract
We calculate the chemical depletion fraction of the granitic bedrock by analysing the rock-soil enrichment of zirconium. In Vendée (France), chemical weathering rates account for 26% of the denudation rates. Such a chemical depletion fraction characterizes temperate regimes. It is three times lower than that of humid tropical regimes. To cite this article: J.-C. Maurin et al., C. R. Geoscience 337 (2005).
