Cryogenian Glaciation and the Onset of Carbon-Isotope Decoupling
Abstract
A Dip in the Carbon Pool: Before the diversity of animal life exploded in the Cambrian, Earth's carbon cycle was apparently strongly altered by multiple glaciation events across the globe. Carbon isotope signatures from rocks in Australia measured by Swanson-Hysell et al. (p. 608 ) suggest that an organic carbon reservoir formed between two global glaciations, or “snowball Earth,” several hundred million years earlier than expected. Anoxic sulfate-limited waters, caused by increased river outputs from melting glaciers, may have prohibited bacterial respiration, allowing for the accumulation of organic carbon. As organic carbon levels dropped, CO 2 was released, allowing the atmosphere to warm, preventing further glaciations, and permitting the eventual accumulation of oxygen in the oceans that led to the Cambrian explosion.

“The carbon isotope decoupling observed in the Neoproterozoic δ13C record61 (where δ13Ccarb varies but δ13Corg is near constant) can, as previously proposed496162, be explained by the recycling of detrital organic carbon.”

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.
