Compilation of geochemical data from surface soil samples from China

1. This file is a supplement to the manuscript “Modern silicate weathering regimes across China revealed by geochemical records from surface soils” by Guo et al. (2022, Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface). 2. This file compiles bulk and fine fraction (&lt;2 μm) samples datasets, and the corresponding references. 3. Outliers with a low value are surrounded by features with high values (LH) and those with a high value are surrounded by features with low values (HL), at the 95% confidence level. The outliers were excluded from the kriging interpolation. 4. Meteorological data are generated using ArcGIS 10.2 and the spatial statistics and analytical methods described in section 2.4, using long-term (1961–2010) climate data. 5. Data of the time-averaged shear-wave velocity in the upper 30 m (Vs30) in China are from https://earthquake.usgs.gov. 6. Lithological data for China are from https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.788537. 7. Empty cells for MAP, MAT, MAP/PET, Vs30 and Lithology correspond to no data for discussion due to exclusion of CIA outliers. It also avoids the potential effects of the CIA outliers on discussion. 8. Instrumental analyses include X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES), Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). 9.
