The role of tectonic uplift, climate, and vegetation in the long-term terrestrial phosphorous cycle
Phosphorus (P) is a crucial element for life and therefore for maintaining ecosystem productivity. Its local availability to the terrestrial biosphere results from the interaction between climate, tectonic uplift, atmospheric transport, and biotic cycling. Here we present a mathematical model that d...
