Image Details
Caption: Figure A4.
Similar to Figure 6, but additionally including sensitivity tests where only the crust can be hydrated (“crustal hydration only,” pink lines). Albedo is constant at α = 0.3, and escape processes are included for Earth-like instellation and hypsometry. Even with limited or no ingassing, small initial surface reservoirs result in an imbalanced carbon cycle that leads to uninhabitable surfaces.
