Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“During that time, biological processes within the subducted water mass may consume some of the unequilibrated alkalinity, however this will have no impact on atmospheric CO2 until the water mass resurfaces. 64”

“Seasonal variations of up to 80– 110 μeq kg 1 are also seen, resulting from changes in vertical mixing [Lee et al., 2006], riverine inputs [Cai et al., 2010], and especially primary production [Wolf-Gladrow et al., 2007].”

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.
