Abstract:Abstract. Long viewed as a mostly noble, atmospheric species, recent work demonstrates that nitrogen in fact cycles throughout the Earth system, including the atmosphere, biosphere, oceans, and solid Earth. Despite this new-found behaviour, more thorough investigation of N in geologic materials is limited due to its low concentration (1 to 10 s ppm) and difficulty in analysis. In addition, N can exist in multiple species (NO3−, NH4+, N2, organic-N), and determining which species is actually quantified can be d… Show more
