<Peter B. Kelemen> and <Craig E. Manning> combined rock carbon inventories, fluid solubility and transport mechanisms to reassess the <subduction> <carbon cycle>.<Reevaluating carbon fluxes in subduction zones, what goes down, mostly comes up by Peter B. Kelemen and Craig E. Manning>[Abstract: carbon-bearing rocks, aqueous transfer and mantle recycling]{ref}
Their analysis emphasizes transfer and storage above the descending slab. A carbon atom leaving subducting rock can enter another solid reservoir before reaching the atmosphere; counting only incoming sediment and volcanic output would miss that part of the budget.
