Biogeochemistry
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the chemical formula Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂. It plays a critical role in biogeochemistry as the main component of vertebrate bone and teeth, significantly influencing phosphorus cycling and storage within ecosystems.
