Microbially induced potassium enrichment in Paleoproterozoic shales and implications for reverse weathering on early Earth
The transition from smectite to illite requires potassium incorporation, yet the role of microbes in facilitating K+ uptake remains debated, especially during the early Earth. Here, the authors suggest that the Paleoproterozoic microbial mats extracted potassium from sea water and induced localized...
