This study is about whether the rock weathering we’ve seen posted here before (crushed olivine etc) works in dry climates like California. The answer appears to be “yes, but more slowly”
> The study found the plots with crushed rock stored 0.15 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare (2.47 acres) during the study compared to plots without crushed rock. Though researchers expect different weathering rates in different environments, if this amount of carbon was removed across all California cropland, it would be equivalent to taking 350,000 cars off the road every year.
