Following the largest mass extinction of the Phanerozoic, the Early Triassic was characterized by a series of carbon cycle perturbations as revealed through multiple global carbon isotope excursions (CIEs). The mechanistic drivers behind these perturbations are a subject of debate due to limited rec...
