Which ecosystem effect follows increased chemical weathering rates?

💡 Explanation

Chemical weathering increases carbon sequestration via mineral reactions; specifically, silicate weathering consumes atmospheric CO2. This Negative Feedback mechanism occurs because dissolving of exposed rock consumes atmospheric CO2, therefore directly addressing the higher atmospheric CO2 concentration rather than related changes.
