Nitrates as a Potential N Supply for Microbial Ecosystems in a Hyperarid Mars Analog System

Nitrate is common in Mars sediments owing to long-term atmospheric photolysis, oxidation, and potentially, impact shock heating. The Atacama Desert in Chile, which is the driest region on Earth and rich in nitrate deposits, is used as a Mars analog in this study to explore the potential effects of h...
