| Abstract | Reactive nitrogen plays a pivotal role in understanding the origins of life and assessing the potential for life on other planets. Decades of research have been dedicated to unraveling the mysteries surrounding reactive nitrogen's origins and the magnitudes of its sources on early Earth. This research aims to provide evidence of the significance of hydrothermal air-water ammonia flux and characterize the chemical signatures of this process expected to appear in the rock record.
