20. The alternative way to drive an increase in pH would be through a removal of carbon; however, this would be evident in the δ13C record, so we can rule it out.
21. Bacterial sulfate reduction (BSR) is a net source of alkalinity if the generated H2S is buried as pyrite. Pyrite deposition is seen widely in certain settings during the Late Permian to PTB. Further information is provided in the supplementary materials.
