Summary
Chemical buffers, reactions that resist change in a system’s chemical state, exert strong controls on the chemistry of the natural environment. Important buffers in nature include heterogeneous buffers arising from reactions among aqueous species, as well as heterogeneous buffers caused by reactions of a fluid with an external solid or gas phase.
