#WeekendReading: Salles et al. on how carbon burial shifts between shallow and deep water carbonates over the last ~250 million years and how those interact with the silicate weathering feedback. 🧪⚒️

![Habitability- and alkalinity-limited regimes and implications on the carbonate compensation depth and Meso-Cenozoic climate regulation. (A) Habitability-limited regime. When neritic habitats are restricted, calcium ions saturate the water column, the carbonate compensation depth (CCD) deepens, and carbonate precipitation increases in deep waters. This regime is associated with enhanced deep-sea carbonate burial and relative atmospheric CO2 drawdown. (B) Alkalinity-limited regime. When weathering and hydrothermal alkalinity inputs are low, carbonate ion availability becomes the limiting factor. Neritic precipitation depletes alkalinity, the CCD shoals, and deep-sea carbonates dissolve, weakening ocean buffering and allowing transient atmospheric CO2 buildup. (C) Habitability-limited and alkalinity-limited regimes (green and orange, respectively) identified by the habitability excess, i.e., the difference between the maximum productivity potential of shallow-water carbonates and the Ca2+ and HCO− 3 influx. Habitability-limited and alkalinity-limited regimes match cooler-than-average and warmer-than-average periods of time, and habitability excess correlates to global average atmospheric (64) and low latitude sea surface (65) temperatures (Pearson (r) and Spearman (rs) correlation coefficients of 0.6 to 0.7). Compiled nannofossil accumulation rates and associated LOESS curve [smoothing factor of 0.1, (74)] highlight several phases of calcifying pelagic algae evolutionary dynamic matching habitability-limited and alkalinity-limited regimes. Deep-sea sedimentary carbonate carbon storage since the Early Cretaceous (120 Ma to present) (5) and modeled global CCD (61). Triassic (Tr), Jurassic (J), Cretaceous (K), Paleogene (Pg), and Neogene (Ng).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ywwbhwuq4sszjve7kdshnahd/bafkreiaezqrrcmio2rjs6qbh6xh6ok6pv5dx3he2kxgtdvoaicgu57thtm@jpeg)
