Extended Data Fig. 7: CLiBeSO-W model results when marine 10Be/9Be data are excluded from the MCMC inversion.

From: Neogene cooling driven by land surface reactivity rather than increased weathering fluxes

Extended Data Fig. 7

a, Atmospheric \({p}_{{{\rm{CO}}}_{2}}\)with alkenone (yellow) and δ11B (red) proxy and ice-core (blue) data (see Methods). b, Modelled seawater δ7Li. The grey points are planktonic foraminifera δ7Li (ref. 28). c, Modelled marine 10Be/9Be normalized to the value at 0 Myr ago. The grey and blue points are reconstructed marine 10Be/9Be from ref. 7 normalized to the modern 10Be/9Be value of the respective ocean basin. d, Normalized silicate (red) and carbonate (blue) weathering flux and carbonate burial (dashed blue) flux. The grey, dashed lines are the estimated minimum and maximum changes in Fcarbb from sedimentary volumes30. e, Silicate weathering intensity. f, Globally averaged erosion rate (left axis). The solid red and lower and upper dashed lines show the mean, minimum and maximum mountain erosion rate estimates16, respectively (right axis). The beige line is an estimate of global erosion rate15 and the beige bar at 0 Myr ago indicates the full range of estimated pre-anthropogenic erosion rates15,18 (left axis). In ac, error bars are published uncertainty for the data (minimum/maximum in a, 1σ in b, c). The model output is shown by black lines, using the mean of the MCMC optimized parameters and the shading indicates the density of all convergent MCMC iterations.
