Reply to The world is (on average) 50% reliant on nonrenewable sources of phosphorus fertilizer to grow food. It won't go away this century, but prices will increase and ~3/4ths of reserves are controlled by one country by fartyburly
Full disclosure, I didn't totally ingest the article, but rather scanned it. However, I would be curious as to how using phosphorus as fertilizer impacts the snow pack. I could see how the snow pack, during the spring months and thawing, seeps into the ground and through the fertilizer to potentially impact ground water. However, the article said that production of phosphorus impacted snow pack and not the other way around.
