Protection against arsenic damage in organisms positioned deep in the tree of
life points to early evolutionary sensitization. Here, marine sedimentary records
reveal a Proterozoic arsenic concentration patterned to glacial-interglacial
ages. The low glacial and high interglacial sedimentary arsenic concentrations,
suggest deteriorating habitable marine conditions may have coincided with
atmospheric oxygen decline after ~2.1 billion years ago. A similar
intensification of near continental margin sedimentary arsenic levels after the
Cryogenian glaciations is also associated with amplified continental weathering.
However, interpreted atmospheric oxygen increase at this time, suggests that the
marine biosphere had widely adapted to the reorganization of global marine
elemental cycles by glaciations. Such a glacially induced biogeochemical bridge
would have produced physiologically robust communities that enabled increased
oxygenation of the ocean-atmosphere system and the radiation of the complex
Ediacaran-Cambrian life.
