Reevaluating carbon fluxes in subduction zones, what goes down, mostly comes up
Open accessAbstract
Significance: This paper reviews carbon fluxes into and out of subduction zones, using compiled data, calculations of carbon solubility in aqueous fluids, and estimates of carbon flux in metasedimentary diapirs. Upper-bound estimates suggest that most subducting carbon is transported into the mantle lithosphere and crust, whereas previous reviews suggested that about half is recycled into the convecting mantle. If upper-bound estimates are correct, and observed output from volcanoes and diffuse outgassing is smaller, then the mantle lithosphere is an important reservoir for carbon. If the subduction carbon cycle remains in balance, then outgassing from ridges and ocean islands is not balanced, so that the carbon content of the lithosphere + ocean + atmosphere has increased over Earth history.

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.
