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

Phosphorus (in the form of phosphate) is an essential nutrient and energy carrier on many
different levels of life, and a key element in mediating between living and lifeless parts of the …

Over the past fifteen years a limited number of monographs concerned with the theory of
transport and reaction of substances in sediments (Berner, 1980; Lerman, 1979; and in part …

The organic matter that escapes decomposition is buried and preserved in marine
sediments, with much debate as to whether the amount depends on bottom-water O 2 …

We used a combination of porewater and solid phase analysis, as well as a series of
sediment incubations, to quantify organic carbon oxidation by dissimilatory Fe reduction, Mn …

We have combined several different methodologies to quantify rates of organic carbon
mineralization by the various electron acceptors in sediments from the coast of Denmark and …

The seasonal variation in oxidized and reduced pools of Mn, Fe and S, as well as the rates
of SO 4 2− reduction, were studied in a fine-grained sediment. Below the 1–5 mm thick oxic …

The activities of infaunal macrobenthos strongly influence the pathways, rates, and extent of
organic matter remineralization and associated reactions in marine sediments. Solute …

We present a numerical model of sedimentary early diagenetic processes that includes oxic
and anoxic mineralization. The model belongs to the new wave of early diagenesis models …

There has been an active debate about the factors controlling the origin of organic-rich
marine sediments since at least the 1920s. Most of this debate has focused on the relative …
