Scientific paper

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 trace elements. These reduction reactions affect these cycles on a variety of time scales, ranging from those as short as seasonal time scales (e.g., nutrient cycling in coastal ecosystems), to those as long as thousands to tens of thousands of years (e.g., glacial—interglacial transformations in deep sea sediments). In this review article I will briefly summarize the results of laboratory studies on the types of manganese and iron reduction that are known to occur in marine sediments, and then discuss the occurrence of these processes in different sedimentary environments. Particular efforts will be given to examining the rates and mechanisms of sedimentary manganese and iron reduction in relationship to other biogeochemical processes in sediments.
