This chemical weathering process is too
slow to damp out shorter - term fluctuations, and there are some complexities — glaciation can enhance the mechanical
erosion that provides surface area for chemical weathering (some of which may be realized after a time delay — ie when the subsequent warming occurs — dramatically snow in a Snowball Earth scenario, where the frigid conditions essentially shut down all chemical weathering, allowing CO2 to build up to the point where it thaws the equatorial region, at which point runaway albedo feedback drives the Earth into a carbonic acid sauna, which ends via rapid carbonate rock formation), while lower sea level may increase the oxidation of organic C in sediments but
also provide more land surface for
erosion... etc..
Life on land: Besides the reduction of greenhouse gases, the project assist environmental sustainability by
slowing deforestation, which
also prevents soil
erosion, the destruction of natural habitats and the loss of biodiversity
