A link between the destruction of the mantle root beneath the North China Craton and the Cretaceous Greenhouse

Tracing deep carbon cycling by metal stable isotopes

“…argues that the destruction of the eastern North China craton was responsible for rapid and massive CO 2 outgassing into the early Cretaceous atmosphere, hence inducing climate change at that time [ 2 ]. This new idea is highlighted by Graham Pearson from the University of Alberta [ 3 ].…”
