Early planetesimal differentiation and late accretion shaped Earth’s nitrogen budget
Abstract The relative roles of protoplanetary differentiation versus late accretion in establishing Earth’s life-essential volatile element inventory are being hotly debated. To address this issue, we employ first-principles calculations to investigate nitrogen (N) isotope fractionation during Earth...
