Study in Nature Geoscience reveals carbon-rich rocks accelerated Earth's oxygen production.
A new study in Nature Geoscience led by the University of Bristol reveals how carbon-rich rocks accelerated oxygen production and release in Earth's atmosphere. This insight might help assess the habitability of other planets for life, from plants to animals and humans. By understanding Earth's carbon cycle, researchers can build a unique computer model to accurately track changes in carbon, nutrient, and oxygen cycles throughout Earth's history.
