For decades it had been thought that human activities were responsible for only around 5% of atmospherically-circulating phosphorus. More phosphorus in the air means more phosphors deposited on the ground. This can boost plant growth and the capacity to sequester atmospheric CO₂; for that reason human activities may be altering the phosphorus and carbon cycles to a degree which was previously unknown
