Short summary
We develop here a new approach that couples the carbon and lithium cycles for reconstructing the Cenozoic Li isotope record. We show that this record does not provide persuasive, unique evidence for Cenozoic change in erosional forcing as it could, alternatively, be consistent with climatic control on soil production rates. The Li storage in continental secondary phases plays a key role, in particular, during the Early Cenozoic.
