Data and Matlab scripts used in D. H. Rothman, Slow Closure of Earth's Carbon Cycle, PNAS

This code and associated data files replicate all figures andresults contained in D. H. Rothman, Slow Closure of Earth's Carbon Cycle, PNAS, January 2024.<br>----------------------------------Data Tables----------------------------------All data contained in the data tables has either been previouslypublished explicitly or displayed in previously publications.Detailed references are given in the manuscript.<br>A list of tables follows.<br>degtable.csvContains the degradation database of 23 sediment cores originallystudied by Rothman and Forney (2007). See the header within thisfile for more information.<br>T*.csvWithin these tables, the units of measurement are as follows:age [sediment age, Myr]depth [sediment depth, m]n [cells per cubic cm]org [wt % total organic carbon]<br>There is some overlap in the content of these tables.A summary follows:<br>Tn.csv contains cell counts as a function of site, age, and depth inproductive regions.<br>Torg.csv contains Corg concentrations as a function of site, age, anddepth in productive regions.<br>Tspgeqpac0.csv contains cell counts as a function of site, age, anddepth in the South Pacific Gyre and Pacific Equatorial Transect.<br>Tspgeqpac.csv contains cell counts as a function of site, age, anddepth in the South Pacific Gyre and Pacific Equatorial Transect onlyfor ages greater than t*=1.5 Myr.<br>Tspgeqpacorg0.csv contains Corg concentrations as a function of site,age, and depth in the South Pacific Gyre and Pacific EquatorialTransect.<br>Tspgorg.csv contains Corg concentrations as a function of site, age,and depth in the South Pacific Gyre<br><br>----------------------------------Recreate Figures----------------------------------<br>recreate_figures.m makes all figures in the manuscript.See comments within this file for the specific scriptscorresponding to each figure.<br>All scripts have been successfully run using Matlab R2022aunder the Linux-based OS Ubuntu 18.04.1.
