Urea found in atmosphere has significant impact on climate.

Scientists at The University of Manchester have discovered that the primary source of urea, a nitrogen-rich compound vital for the growth and development of living organisms, comes from the ocean. The research also reveals that urea can be transported over long distances through the atmosphere to benefit other environments that may be nutrient-deficient. The findings have significant implications for our understanding of the nitrogen cycle and calls for a revision of current models, which could have far-reaching consequences for marine productivity and climate stability.
