| contents | The potential for multistationarity, or the existence of steady-state multiplicity, in the Earth System raises concerns that the planet could reach a climatic `tipping point,' rapidly transitioning to a warmer steady-state from which recovery may be practically unattainable. In detailed Earth models that require extensive computation time, it is difficult to make an a priori prediction of the possibility of multistationarity. In this study, we demonstrate Chemical Reaction Network Theory (CRNT) analysis of a simple heuristic box model of the Earth System carbon cycle with the human intervention of Direct Air Capture. CRNT leverages parameter-minimal analysis, relying primarily on the graphical and kinetic structure of the reaction network system, to identify necessary conditions for steady-state multiplicity. The analysis reveals necessary conditions for the combination of system parameters where steady-state multiplicity may exist. With this method, other negative emissions technologies (NET) may be screened in a relatively simple manner to aid in the priority setting by policymakers. Beyond multistationarity, the analysis provides insights into key system properties, such as absolute concentration robustness and some conditions for atmospheric carbon reduction. |
