Abstract

The stable carbon isotope compositions of ancient soil carbonate and coexisting soil organic matter indicate that atmospheric CO 2 levels decreased by a factor of 10 during the middle to late Paleozoic era. Proxy measurements of CO 2 were made by application of a soil carbonate CO 2 paleobarometer to a suite of paleosols that share key physical and chemical characteristics. The estimates agree with theoretical models that imply that a decrease in Paleozoic atmospheric CO 2 levels was associated with afforestation of the land surface by terrestrial plants and with global climate change leading to the extensive Permo-Carboniferous glaciation.

“A number of studies report an increase in the 8'3C of marine inorganic carbon (marine carbonate rocks) from 0 per mil in the Late Silurian to 6 per mil in the Early Permian (I 1); the 8'3C of atmospheric CO2 is thus predicted to parallel this trend, with values -7 per mil more negative (12).”

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.
