In Ediacaran period, some environmental changes are proposed (e.g. Oxidation, nutrient and carbon cycle) before the Cambrian explosion and macroscopic multicellular metazoan first appeared and their sizes became drastically large. It suggests that carbon cycle in ocean changes in Ediacaran period. Therefore, we assumed box model that there were two carbon reservoirs in Ocean and fluxes are taken as the first order reaction of each reservoir (Rothman et al., 2003; Ishikawa et al., 2012). Thus, we could estimate both d1 and d2 by changes of parameters to trace analyzed d13Ccarb and d13Corg curves from drilling core samples in Three Gorges through the Ediacaran to the early Cambrian (Tahata et al., 2012; Kikumoto et al., 2013; Ishikawa et al., 2012). The d13Ccarb in Three Gorges shows negative excursions in Gaskiers glaciation (ca. 580 Ma), Shuram excursion (ca. 570-550 Ma) and Precambrian/Cambrian boundary (ca. 542 Ma). On the other hand, the d13Corg in Three Gorges show constant ca. -30 per mill in early Ediacaran and correlation to d13Ccarb after Shuram excursion. The parameter sets suggested carbon cycle changes in Ediacaran period. This Reconstructed Three Gorges carbon cycle quantitatively estimated carbon cycle changes in these periods. The results indicate the rate of remineralization need to increase before the Shuram excursion and the rate of organic carbon burial increase to ca. 100 times in the late stage of Shuram excursion. The increase of remineralization might indicate step-by-step changes of dominant metabolism from anaerobic respiration to aerobic respiration. In addition, the change of organic carbon burial is possibly consistent with the first appearance of mobile metazoan and zooplankton. The parameters in early Ediacaran apply to carbon cycle in Marinoan glaciation before Ediacaran period. On the other hand, parameters in modern Ocean apply to carbon cycle in P-T boundary. It has possibility that there is glaciation in P-T boundary. The DOC reservoir size differed in Marinoan and P-T boundary. The different DOC reservoir size cause different carbon isotope changes in Marinoan glaciation and P-T boundary.
