Anoxic Archean air could hold 1000s of ppmv of CH4 if a microbial flux of CH4 was comparable to today's.
“Anoxic Archean air could hold 1000 s of parts per million by volume of CH4 if a microbial flux of CH4 was comparable to today’s (135, 183, 184).”
From The Archean atmosphere (2020) · cites this paper as [184]
The Methods (p. 13) model methane from microbial methanogenesis entering an anoxic atmosphere, and Fig. 2 (p. 5) relates biogenic CH4 flux to atmospheric CH4 mixing ratio. The passages do not establish a concentration of thousands of ppmv for a microbial methane flux comparable to today’s; the modern flux compared on p. 4 is reduced-gas outgassing, not microbial methane emissions. (LLM, conf=0.78)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn models with methanogens and H2-based photosynthesizers, atmospheric H2 mixing ratios generally are ≤10^-4.
“In models with methanogens and H2-based photosynthesizers, atmospheric H2 mixing ratios depend on assumed H2 outgassing and biological productivity but generally are ≤10−4 (183, 184).”
From The Archean atmosphere (2020) · cites this paper as [184]
The Methods (p. 13) describe a model with H2-using photosynthesis and methanogenesis, while the results (p. 4) show that outgassing affects photosynthetic production. The Methods (p. 15) refer to an atmospheric H2 mixing-ratio calculation, but the equation is not decoded in our copy; no passage establishes that the ratio is generally ≤10⁻⁴. (LLM, conf=0.79)

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.
