Reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions occur during burial because sediments contain
reactive mixtures of oxidised and reduced components. Diagenetic chemical reactions …

In this article, we review the nature, occurrence and environmental relevance of the
authigenic ferrous iron phosphate mineral vivianite (Fe 3 (PO 4) 2· 8H 2 O) in waterlogged …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane provides a globally important, yet poorly constrained barrier
for the vast amounts of methane produced in the subseafloor. Here we provide a global map …

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and its biological conversion in marine sediments,
largely controlled by anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), is a crucial part of the global …

Studies of authigenic phosphorus (P) minerals in marine sediments typically focus on
authigenic carbonate fluorapatite, which is considered to be the major sink for P in marine …

Here, we present results from sediments collected in the Argentine Basin, a non‐steady
state depositional marine system characterized by abundant oxidized iron within methane …

The marine sulfate inventory represents the largest standing pool of electron acceptors,
which, via microbial sulfate reduction, is responsible for roughly half of the organic matter …

Microanalysis of epoxy resin-embedded sediments is used to demonstrate the presence of
authigenic iron (Fe)(II) phosphates and manganese (Mn)-calcium (Ca)-carbonate …

Studies of phosphorus (P) dynamics in surface sediments of lakes and coastal seas typically
emphasize the role of coupled iron (Fe), sulfur (S) and P cycling for sediment P burial and …

The availabilities of iron and phosphorus have considerably impacted biological productivity
in past and present natural aquatic environments, and therefore have been key regulators of …
