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 …

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

Sulphur isotope analysis of archaeological materials provides information on past
ecosystems, palaeo-diets, migration and mobility. This review covers the geochemical …

The sequestration of sulfur within sedimentary pyrite is a major sink in the global
biogeochemical sulfur cycle and has consequent impacts on the related cycles of carbon …

Reviews of the sulfur cycle from a biogeochemical or microbiological perspective have
recently been presented, eg by Amend et al.(2004) and Canfield et al.(2005). The latter …

The main terminal processes of organic matter mineralization in anoxic Black Sea sediments
underlying the sulfidic water column are sulfate reduction in the upper 2–4 m and …

The hypoxic zone in the Baltic Sea has increased in area about four times since 1960 and
widespread oxygen deficiency has severely reduced macro benthic communities below the …

The mechanisms of pyrite formation are reviewed. Advances since 1994 in our
understanding of the mechanisms and rate of pyrite formation, the role of bacteria in the …

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 …

In this study, redox-dependent phosphorus (P) recycling and burial at 6 sites in the Baltic
Sea is investigated using a combination of porewater and sediment analyses and sediment …
