Andrew J. Smye coauthored models of carbon cycling and habitability on stagnant-lid planets. Cooling and volcanic production determine carbon-dioxide supply, while the availability of fresh rock limits its removal by weathering.[ref]
This couples an interior heat budget to atmospheric conditions. A planet can retain some long-term carbon regulation without mobile plates, but the outcome depends on its initial inventories and subsequent thermal evolution.
