The potential impact of the uncertainty on final estimates of net carbon removal or storage duration: negligible, low, medium, high, or very high.
The precipitation and dissolution of carbonate minerals modifies ocean alkalinity. Carbonates preserved on the seafloor are likely to store carbon on geologic timescales.
Second release. Added component to explicitly reflect Marine carbonate durability. This edit occured as part of a broader update of the Enhanced Weathering pathway.
