Fixed Carbon dioxide respired to air
Soil CO2 efflux includes root and faunal respiration, not only microbes; roots are often about a third to half of soil respiration.

Fixed Weathering, erosion and sediment transportOxidation weathering (e.g. of pyrite and iron silicates) consumes Oxygen and is a major chemical weathering pathway.
