Evidence for rapid weathering response to climatic warming during the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event
Abstract Chemical weathering consumes atmospheric carbon dioxide through the breakdown of silicate minerals and is thought to stabilize Earth’s long-term climate. However, the potential influence of silicate weathering on atmospheric pCO2 levels on geologically short timescales (103–105 years) remai...
