Calcium carbonate represents a large portion of carbon reservoir and is used commercially
for a variety of applications. Microbial carbonate precipitation, a by-product of microbial …

Following the Cambrian Explosion and the appearance in the fossil record of most animal
phyla associated with a range of new body plans, the Ordovician and Silurian periods …

The genesis and evolution of lacustrine pre-salt carbonate reservoirs, which contain giant
hydrocarbon accumulations along the South Atlantic margins, has attracted major research …

The carbonate factories model, as defined at the beginning of the century, provides a
subdivision of marine carbonate sediment production‐systems based on the style of …

The 'Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event'(GOBE) saw a spectacular increase in marine
biodiversity at all taxonomic levels largely within the phyla established much earlier during …

Photosynthetic uptake of inorganic carbon can raise the pH adjacent to cyanobacterial cells,
promoting CaCO3 precipitation. This effect is enhanced by CO2 concentrating mechanisms …

Synchronized transitions in the polymorph mineralogy of the major reef-building and
sediment-producing calcareous marine organisms and abiotic CaCO 3 precipitates (ooids …

Anthropogenic rise in the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere leads to global
warming and acidification of the oceans. Ocean acidification (OA) is harmful to many …

Biotic activities are involved in almost all sedimentation processes throughout the
evolutionary history of life on our planet. However, deep-time organism-induced …

Mass extinction events affect a wide breadth of ecosystems and are one of the major driving
mechanisms behind evolution, origination, and diversification of taxa. Such dramatic …
