The search for life on planets beyond the solar system has become a subject of intense public interest, with heightened expectations for the detection of atmospheric biosignatures using the next generation of space and ground-based telescopes. However, significant gaps remain in our mechanistic understanding of Earth’s chemical evolution, and in particular the cause-and-effect relationships with evolving biosphere. Here, I discuss the coupled evolution of life and the atmosphere through Earth history based on the results obtained from biogeochemical models.
