The Co-evolution of the Nitrogen, Carbon and Oxygen Cycles in the Proterozoic Ocean
Geochemical evidence suggests that there was a delay of several hundred million years between the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis and the accumulation of oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere. The deep ocean appears to have remained euxenic for several hundred million years after the atmosphere became oxygenated. In this paper we examine the possibility that the extraordinary delay in the oxidation...
متن کاملNitrogen cycling and feedbacks in a global dynamic land model
Global anthropogenic changes in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles call for modeling tools that are able to address and quantify essential interactions between N, C, and climate in terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we introduce a prognostic N cycle within the Princeton-GFDL LM3V land model. The model captures mechanisms essential for N cycling and their feedbacks on C cycling: N limitation of plant...
متن کاملWhat determines the magnitude of carbon cycle-climate feedbacks?
Positive feedbacks between climate change and the carbon cycle have the potential to amplify the growth of atmospheric carbon dioxide and accelerate future climate warming. However, both the magnitude of and the processes which drive future carbon cycleclimate feedbacks remain highly uncertain. In this study, we use a coupled climate-carbon model to investigate how the response of vegetation ph...
متن کاملMIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change Consequences of Considering Carbon/Nitrogen Interactions on the Feedbacks between Climate and the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle
A number of observational studies indicate that carbon sequestration by terrestrial ecosystems in a world with an atmosphere richer in carbon dioxide and a warmer climate depends on the interactions between the carbon and nitrogen cycles. However, most terrestrial ecosystem models being used in climate-change assessments do not take into account these interactions. Here we explore how carbon/ni...
متن کاملIron availability limits the ocean nitrogen inventory stabilizing feedbacks between marine denitrification and nitrogen fixation
[1] Recent upward revisions in key sink/source terms for fixed nitrogen (N) in the oceans imply a short residence time and strong negative feedbacks involving denitrification and N fixation to prevent large swings in the ocean N inventory over timescales of a few centuries. We tested the strength of these feedbacks in a global biogeochemical elemental cycling (BEC) ocean model that includes wat...
