Production-Diffusion modeling results using a Monte Carlo approach to simulate carbon isotope excursions in organic matter and paleosol carbonate during the PETM

Production-Diffusion modeling results using a Monte Carlo approach to simulate carbon isotope excursions in organic matter and paleosol carbonate during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. These modeling experiments were designed to test the effects soil methane oxidation and increased soil respiration rates can have on the carbon isotope values of pedogenic carbonate. The results from four modeling experiments are included. Three methane oxidation experiments that simulate a large methane release over 100, 1000, and 10000 years, respectively, and one soil respiration experiment.
