Animating the Carbon Cycle
Open accessAbstract
Understanding the biogeochemical processes regulating carbon cycling is central to mitigating atmospheric CO₂ emissions. The role of living organisms has been accounted for, but the focus has traditionally been on contributions of plants and microbes. We develop the case that fully “animating” the carbon cycle requires broader consideration of the functional role of animals in mediating biogeochemical processes and quantification of their effects on carbon storage and exchange among terrestrial and aquatic reservoirs and the atmosphere. To encourage more hypothesis-driven experimental research that quantifies animal effects we discuss the mechanisms by which animals may affect carbon exchanges and storage within and among ecosystems and the atmosphere. We illustrate how those mechanisms lead to multiplier effects whose magnitudes may rival those of more traditional carbon storage and exchange rate estimates currently used in the carbon budget. Many animal species are already directly managed. Thus improved quantitative understanding of their influence on carbon budgets may create opportunity for management and policy to identify and implement new options for mitigating CO₂ release at regional scales.

“Nevertheless, the degree of precision and accuracy in our estimates are on par with estimates of other sources and fates of carbon in the global carbon budget (Schmitz et al. 2014) and therefore give reasonable approximations of the potential direction and order of magnitude of the impact that wolves may once have had on boreal forest and grassland carbon cycling (Fig. 1).”

“We linearly interpolated the reported soil respiration rates assuming moose densities that ranged from 0.5 to 1.5 moose/km 2 (mcInnes et al. 1992, Schmitz et al. 2014) to yield the estimates of soil respiration of 3.25 and 3.875 × 10 4 g C•km -2 •yr -1 with and without wolves, respectively.”

In the citing paper
“Trees are comprised of approximately 50% carbon (Schmitz et al. 2014); thus, wolves indirectly increase the carbon uptake in NPP by 24.5-52.5 g C•m -2 •yr -1 in boreal forest.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
