The 115 pages that link to Carbon cycle, each with the reason it gives.

• Carbon-14Narrower topic: Carbon-14 enters living matter through the same exchanges that circulate ordinary carbon.

• DetritusRelated: Detritus stores organic carbon temporarily and releases it through decomposition.

• Soil carbon sequestrationNarrower topic: Soil storage shifts carbon within the larger system of sources and sinks.

• Sulfur cycleRelated: Sulfur and carbon cycles interact through biological production, sediment burial, and atmospheric chemistry.

• AragoniteRelated: Aragonite stores carbon in shells, reefs, and marine sediments.

• Soil microbiologyRelated: Microbial decomposition determines how much soil carbon returns to the atmosphere or remains stored.

• Carbonate mineralRelated: Carbonate formation stores carbon in long-lived sedimentary minerals.

• DecomposerRelated: Decomposition returns organic carbon to soil and releases some as carbon dioxide.

• Early JurassicRelated: Carbon-isotope changes help track major Early Jurassic environmental disruptions.

• Plant physiologyNarrower topic: Photosynthesis and plant respiration make vegetation a major part of carbon exchange.

• Rock cycleCompared with: Carbon moves through rocks and fluids, but its cycle tracks an element rather than rock types.

• CoccolithophoreRelated: Coccolithophore photosynthesis and calcification move carbon through different ocean pools.

• Large igneous provinceRelated: Province-related carbon emissions can rapidly perturb this cycle and drive climate change.

• Social cost of carbonRelated: It determines how much of an emitted tonne remains in the atmosphere and for how long.

• Tropical deforestationRelated: Forest removal releases stored carbon and weakens a major pathway for atmospheric carbon uptake.

• BiogeochemistryBroader topic: Carbon transfers connect biological production, decomposition, ocean chemistry, and long-term burial.

• Land coverRelated: Cover types differ in how much carbon they store and exchange with the atmosphere.

• New Siberian IslandsNarrower topic: Thawing island permafrost can release carbon stored in frozen organic matter.

• Organic matterNarrower topic: Organic matter is a major pathway and store in exchanges among organisms, soils, and waters.

• PlantRelated: Plant photosynthesis removes atmospheric carbon dioxide, while decay and fires return carbon.

• Carbonate–silicate cycleNarrower topic: The carbonate–silicate cycle is its slow geological component.

• Forest diebackRelated: Dead trees and reduced growth alter carbon storage and emissions from forests.

• Siberian TrapsRelated: Volcanic and thermogenic carbon inputs disrupted this cycle during the extinction interval.

• Anoxygenic photosynthesisRelated: Anoxygenic phototrophs can fix carbon and influence local carbon flows.

• Arctic methane emissionsRelated: Arctic methane emissions transfer carbon from ecosystems and geological stores into the atmosphere.

• CalcificationNarrower topic: Calcification transfers dissolved inorganic carbon into biological minerals and, eventually, sediments.

• Microbial dark matterBroader topic: Genomic predictions connect uncultured lineages to carbon fixation and decomposition.

• ProterozoicRelated: Changes in carbon burial and weathering helped drive Proterozoic climate and oxygen levels.

• Biomass burningRelated: Burning rapidly transfers carbon stored in vegetation into the atmosphere.

• Charles David KeelingNarrower topic: Keeling’s measurements tested how human activity was changing carbon movement through the atmosphere.

• DeadwoodRelated: As wood decomposes, deadwood releases stored carbon and transfers it through the forest.

• Tropical rainforest climateRelated: Rainforests store carbon in vegetation and soils while exchanging carbon dioxide with the atmosphere.

• BiomassNarrower topic: Changes in biomass move carbon between living organisms and other carbon pools.

• Earth scienceRelated: Carbon exchange connects climate, life, oceans, and long-term geology.
