The iron sulfides constitute a diverse group of solids and dissolved complexes many of
which play key roles in marine systems. The group is particularly complex in the lower …

Mangroves and salt marshes are among the most productive ecosystems in the global
coastal ocean. Mangroves store more carbon (739 Mg CORG ha− 1) than salt marshes (334 …

For the past 3.8 billion years, the geochemistry of the Earth's surface-its atmosphere, waters
and exposed crust-has been determined by the presence of biota. Photosynthetic organisms …

The globally important nature of wetland ecosystems has led to their increased protection
and restoration as well as their use in engineered systems. Underpinning the beneficial …

It would not have been possible for me to write the three editions of this book without a
double dose of extraordinary fortune: to have been part of the Woods Hole scientific …

A procedure which includes the Total Reduced Inorganic Sulfur (TRIS) in a single distillation
step is described for the radiotracer measurement of sulfate reduction in sediments. The …

Manganese and iron reduction in marine sediments are known to play important roles in the
biogeochemical cycles of many elements, including carbon, sulfur, phosphorus and several …

Stable isotope ratios of sulfur (δ34S) and oxygen (δ18O) in marine sulfate respond to
changes in fluxes and processes in the global sulfur cycle. The two isotope systems respond …

The principle objective of this book is to review the biological characteristics of estuaries.
The volume has been as a text for undergraduates and graduate students as well as …

Decay of litter of salt marsh grasses occurs in three phases. First there is an early phase
lasting less than a month, with fast rates of weight loss, during which 5 to 40% of the litter is …
