Multiple timescales for neutralization of fossil fuel CO 2
Open accessAbstract
The long term abiological sinks for anthropogenic CO 2 will be dissolution in the oceans and chemical neutralization by reaction with carbonates and basic igneous rocks. We use a detailed ocean/sediment carbon cycle model to simulate the response of the carbonate cycle in the ocean to a range of anthropogenic CO 2 release scenarios. CaCO 3 will play only a secondary role in buffering the CO 2 concentration of the atmosphere because CaCO 3 reaction uptake capacity and kinetics are limited by the dynamics of the ocean carbon cycle. Dissolution into ocean water sequesters 70–80% of the CO 2 release on a time scale of several hundred years. Chemical neutralization of CO 2 by reaction with CaCO 3 on the sea floor accounts for another 9–15% decrease in the atmospheric concentration on a time scale of 5.5–6.8 kyr. Reaction with CaCO 3 on land accounts for another 3–8%, with a time scale of 8.2 kyr. The final equilibrium with CaCO 3 leaves 7.5–8% of the CO 2 release remaining in the atmosphere. The carbonate chemistry of the oceans in contact with CaCO 3 will act to buffer atmospheric CO 2 at this higher concentration until the entire fossil fuel CO 2 release is consumed by weathering of basic igneous rocks on a time scale of 200 kyr.

“The response of atmospheric CO 2 to ocean-sediment interaction actually comprises contributions from two different mechanisms: (1) the dissolution of carbonates previously deposited to the sediments (seafloor CaCO 3 neutralization) and (2) imbalance between weathering and sedimentation (terrestrial CaCO 3 neutralization) [Archer et al., 1997[Archer et al., , 1998]].”

In the citing paper
“Our estimated timescale of 8.3 ka (Figure 7c) is near identical to previous 3-D ocean-based model analyses (8.2À8.5 ka [Archer et al., 1997[Archer et al., , 1998]]) and consistent with the 6300À11,800 year ''secondary alkalinity response'' of Sundquist [1990].”

In the citing paper
“Previous analysis of the role of deep-sea sediments in the long-term fate of fossil fuel CO 2 employed off-line tracer-transport marine carbon cycle models in which the ocean circulation was prescribed [e.g., Archer et al., 1997Archer et al., , 1998;;Sundquist, 1990].”
From Regulation of atmospheric CO 2 by deep‐sea sediments in an Earth system model (2007) · cites this paper as Archer et al., 1997
In the citing paper
“Because the GENIE-1 model contains a climate component we are able to extend the analysis made in formative earlier studies [e.g., Archer et al. , 1997Archer et al. , , 1998;;Sundquist, 1990] by now explicitly assessing the impact of major feedbacks between CO 2 and climate on carbonate compensation.”

In the citing paper
“This is consistent with a 1500-to 2700-year timescale estimated for a primary alkalinity response in box models [Sundquist, 1990], but about 3 times shorter than the 5À6 ka estimated by Archer et al. [1997Archer et al. [ , 1998]].”

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.
