From atoms to landscapes through time: the chemical controls on carbonate precipitation and phosphate concentration in alkaline lakes

Abstract:

As some of the most biologically productive environments on the modern Earth, alkaline lakes may have figured prominently in the evolution of the global carbon cycle and in the chemical origins of life. Significant CaCO3 supersaturation is a ubiquitous trait of alkaline lakes, controlling the geochemical evolution of lake waters as well as the mineralogy and sedimentary expression of their deposits. By definition, CaCO3 supersaturation requires compounds that interfere ...
