Microbial dissimilatory sulfate reduction to sulfide is a predominant terminal pathway of
organic matter mineralization in the anoxic seabed. Chemical or microbial oxidation of the …

The seabed plays a key role in the marine carbon cycle as a) the terminal location of aerobic
oxidation of organic matter, b) the greatest anaerobic bioreactor, and c) the greatest …

Although marine productivity is a key parameter in the global carbon cycle, reliable
estimation of productivity in ancient marine systems has proven difficult. In this study, we …

Quantifying the rates of biogeochemical processes in marine sediments is essential for
understanding global element cycles and climate change. Because organic matter …

The term 'bioturbation'is frequently used to describe how living organisms affect the
substratum in which they live. A closer look at the aquatic science literature reveals …

Organic carbon in marine sediments is a critical component of the global carbon cycle, and
its degradation influences a wide range of phenomena, including the magnitude of carbon …

Ocean Biogeochemical Dynamics provides a broad theoretical framework upon which
graduate students and upper-level undergraduates can formulate an understanding of the …

The burial of organic matter (OM) in marine sediments represents the major link between
“active” surface pools of carbon in the oceans, atmosphere, on land, and in marine …

Understanding the fate of terrestrial organic carbon (C org) delivered to oceans by rivers is
critical for constraining models of biogeochemical cycling and Earth surface evolution. C org …

Benthic O2 availability regulates many important biogeochemical processes and has crucial
implications for the biology and ecology of benthic communities. Further, the benthic O2 …
