The carbon cycle before humans: New studies provide clearer picture of how carbon cycle was dramatically affected long ... Tuesday, February 16, 2010 @ 11:20PMTwo new studies contribute new clues as to what drove large-scale changes to the carbon cycle nearly 100 million years ago. Both research teams conclude that a massive amount of volcanic activity introduced carbon dioxide and sulfur into the atmosphere, which in turn had a significant impact on the carbon cycle, oxygen levels in the oceans and marine plants and animals. Oxygen levels dropped so ...
