Toxic Gas on an Ancient Brown Dwarf Baffles Scientists Phosphine has finally been spotted in the atmosphere of the brown dwarf Wolf 1130C, surprising astronomers who have struggled to find the gas elsewhere. JWST’s detailed measurements revealed phosphine at exactly the levels theory predicted, breaking a streak of unexplained non-detections. The Role of Phosphorus in Life and Beyond Phosphorus is one of the six [...]

Is Lake Simcoe’s health deteriorating due to increasing water temperatures? With the heat continuing across central Ontario, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) is working to make sure the water stays safe.

Lake Simcoe is two degrees warmer than it was in 2008, which puts stress on local marine wildlife like lake whitefish and lake trout.

N–P scaling exponents (α) of leaves and fine roots of three life form plants under different N addition treatments.

Jiangshan Yu et al. found that, to different plant life forms in a #TemperateForest, trees were less responsive to increasing #Nitrogen (N) doses than herbs and shrubs, and #NAddition accelerated #Phosphorous (P) allocation in the leaves of shrubs and herbs.

Did lightning provide phoshorus to ancient life? The role of lightning during the emergence of life has consequences for extraterrestrial life hypotheses

Elements necessary for #life, like phosphorous, how did they form on Earth? Most #phosphorous in rock won't work, it must be bio-available P. All crucial questions to decipher the origin of life.
