Black Carbon and the Carbon Cycle
Abstract
When vegetation and fossil fuels burn, the combustion creates that becomes distributed throughout the environment. Determining how it is created and where it goes is important for studying the past history of fire and for understanding global carbon and oxygen budgets. In his Research Commentary, Kuhlbusch discusses results reported in the same issue by Masiello and Druffel in which carbon mass and isotope measurements were used to study the age of black carbon in ocean sediment. They find that the black carbon is 2400 to 13,900 years older than the concurrently deposited sediment, suggesting that the black carbon must have been stored in some as-yet unknown intermediate pool.

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.
