Where the article explains it
GCMs, when run with an interactive carbon cycle rather than a prescribed concentration, attempt to simulate and from first-principles biogeochemistry — ocean carbonate chemistry, marine biological production, terrestrial photosynthesis and respiration — so that the partitioning between atmosphere, ocean and land emerges from the model rather than being read off an ice core.
