The coevolution of the geosphere-biosphere on early Earth was also linked to the weathering of basalt and the formation of clay minerals4,5. With respect to the study of planetary systems, the degree of basaltic alteration observed on Mars contributes to our understanding of astrobiology and the...

The conservation of threatened species and the restoration of ecosystems have emerged as crucial ecological prerequisites in the context of a changing global environment. One such species of significant commercial value is the Bael tree, scientifically known as Aegle marmelos, which is native to semi-...
