Caption

Scaling between Ca/Na in suspended load and calcite saturation index (A), riverine Ca and carbonate cation concentrations (B), and Ca lost to precipitation (C). The concentration of Ca lost to precipitation is calculated from the fraction of Ca remaining in the water (β) and riverine Ca concentration.
