Nitrogen limits biological productivity in large parts of the modern ocean, and it may have constrained the proliferation of life over Earth’s history. This talk will discuss how nitrogen isotopes can be used to reconstruct the evolution of nitrogen availability through time. Furthermore, hydrothermal vents and lightning will be discussed as potentially important nutrient sources that may have helped sustain the early biosphere.
