Natural ocean iron fertilization and climate variability over geological periods
Marine primary producers are largely dependent on and shape the Earth's climate, although
their relationship with climate varies over space and time. The growth of phytoplankton and …

The Great Oxygenation Event as a consequence of ecological dynamics modulated by planetary change
Abstract The Great Oxygenation Event (GOE), ca. 2.4 billion years ago, transformed life and
environments on Earth. Its causes, however, are debated. We mathematically analyze the …
