| Popis: | Arid environment nitrate deposits are economically important and analogous to Martian environments, but their formation is poorly understood. Detailed N, O, and C isotope stratigraphy suggests Atacama Desert nitrate deposits form abiologically by differential leaching during hyperaridity (precipitation |
