Underlying data for: Influence of temporally varying weatherability on CO2-climate coupling and ecosystem change in the late Paleozoic

This dataset contains the primary data used as input parameters in a mechanistic stomatal CO2 model (Franks et al., 2014 (Geophysical Research Letters)) and the Paleosol Barometer Uncertainty Quantifier (i.e., PBUQ; Breecker, 2013 (Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems)), as well as age-adjusted CO2 data from Montañez et al., 2016 (Nature Geoscience). The stomatal parameters were measured by Richey et al., 2020 (Climate Of The Past) and the paleosol parameters are revised from Montañez et al., 2007 (Science). These input parameters and previous age-adjusted CO2 estimates were used to create a 40-Myr pCO2 record for the Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA) and its Permian demise.
