Apatite dissolution kinetics and the long-germ phosphorus cycle
Apatite is the primary exogenic sink of phosphorus (P). The weathering of apatite contained in continental rocks and sediments compensates for the P loss via sediment subduction over geologic time scales. P availability may control marine net ecosystem production over geologic time scales and thus a...
