CO2 exchange between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere is key to understanding the feedbacks be- tween climate change and the land surface. In regions with carbonaceous parent material, CO2 exchange patterns oc- cur that cannot be explained by biological processes, such as disproportionate outgassing during the daytime or night- time CO2 uptake during periods when all vegetation is senes- cent. Neither of these phenomena can be attributed to car- bonate weathering reactions, since their CO2 exchange rates are too small. Soil ventilation induced by high atmospheric turbulence is found to explain atypical CO2 exchange be- tween carbonaceous systems and the atmosphere. However, by strongly altering subsurface CO2 concentrations, ventila- tion can be expected to influence carbonate weathering rates. By imposing ventilation-driven CO2 outgassing in a carbon- ate weathering model, we show here that carbonate geo- chemistry is accelerated and does play a surprisingly large role in the observed CO2 exchange pattern of a semi-arid ecosystem. We found that by rapidly depleting soil CO2 dur- ing the daytime, ventilation disturbs soil carbonate equilib- ria and therefore strongly magnifies daytime carbonate pre- cipitation and associated CO2 production. At night, venti- lation ceases and the depleted CO2 concentrations increase steadily. Dissolution of carbonate is now enhanced, which consumes CO2 and largely compensates for the enhanced daytime carbonate precipitation. This is why only a relatively
