Oxygen, carbon cycle and strontium isotope outputs. Monte-Carlo experiments running the COPSE model for the Ediacaran period. Degassing rates are sampled from the error window of Mills et al. (2017)37, uplift rates increase linearly from 0.5 to 2 times present day. Values for the key model parameters controlling atmospheric oxygen are chosen for each run from the ranges shown in Table 1.
