This project investigates the early phosphorus cycle and its impact on the development of Earth's biosphere. By analyzing reduced phosphorus and its solubility, it aims to clarify the limitations on early life and assess the habitability of other planets based on nutrient availability.
What limited the size of Earth’s early biosphere?
Answering this question has critical implications for constraining the pace of early evolution and the habitability of other terrestrial planets.
Previous studies have suggested that the early biosphere was limited by metabolic energy, specifically the supply of electron donors.
This proposition implies that phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) – the key biolimiting nutrients today – were available in excess.
However, current estimates of dissolved P…
