Large and active CO2 uptake by coupled carbonate weathering

Carbonate mineral weathering coupled with aquatic photosynthesis on the continents, herein termed coupled carbonate weathering (CCW), represents a current atmospheric CO2 sink of about 0.5 Pg C/a. Because silicate mineral weathering has been considered the primary geological CO2 sink, CCW's rol...
