摘要	Wanning nickel (Ni) abundances in the Neoarchean may have led to a decline in marine methanogenic bacteria due to the loss of a key micronutrient, causing a collapse in atmospheric methane levels and the subsequent rise of atmospheric oxygen - the Great Oxidation Event similar to 2.5 Ga. However, this hypothesis currently lacks geological evidence that corroborates the processes that led to a decline in the supply of Ni to the oceans at that time. Here we investigate temporal variations of Ni concentrations in the likely source rocks - various volcanic lithologies - spanning the past 3.5 Byr. By applying a spatially gridded resampling to geochemical data from a global compilation of similar to 96,000 continental volcanic rocks, we show that komatiites and basaltic-andesitic rocks largely controlled Ni fluxes to the Earth's surface during the Archean but had a waning influence thereafter due to the secular cooling of the mantle. A new compilation of marine shales (397 samples) and an updated compilation of banded iron formations (2037 samples) further confirms a declining clastic and dissolved supply of terrestrial Ni, respectively. Interestingly, we further observed a stable marine Ni concentration for the last 2 Byr. To explain this unexpected trend, we provide a computational model of mantle melting demonstrating that increasing melting pressures likely inhibited a further decline of Ni concentration in volcanic rocks and led to this relative consistency in Ni supply.
