N(2)-fixing tropical legume evolution: a contributor to enhanced weathering through the Cenozoic?

Fossil and phylogenetic evidence indicates legume-rich modern tropical forests replaced Late Cretaceous palm-dominated tropical forests across four continents during the early Cenozoic (58–42 Ma). Tropical legume trees can transform ecosystems via their ability to fix dinitrogen (N(2)) and higher le...
