The Iron Biogeochemical Cycle Past and Present: A Geochemical Perspective
Our understanding of the complex aqueous chemistry of iron in natural systems has advanced significantly over recent years. Here we will highlight how new contributions from nanogeoscience combine with conventional aqueous geochemistry to provide a novel view of kinetics in the modern iron biogeochemical cycle, and the evolution of the iron cycle through geologic time. We start by considering t...
متن کاملThe Global Biogeochemical Sulphur Cycle*
The major sulphur fluxes of both natural and anthropogenic origin have been assessed by generalization of the results of our studies and data available in the literature. Annually about 120 Tg S are extracted by man from the lithosphere in fossil fuels and sulphur-containing raw materials for the chemical industry. Of this amount 70 Tg S are emitted to the atmosphere with the products of fuel c...
متن کاملGlobal biogeochemical cycle of vanadium.
Synthesizing published data, we provide a quantitative summary of the global biogeochemical cycle of vanadium (V), including both human-derived and natural fluxes. Through mining of V ores (130 × 109 g V/y) and extraction and combustion of fossil fuels (600 × 109 g V/y), humans are the predominant force in the geochemical cycle of V at Earth's surface. Human emissions of V to the atmosphere are...
متن کاملRedox chemistry in the phosphorus biogeochemical cycle.
The element phosphorus (P) controls growth in many ecosystems as the limiting nutrient, where it is broadly considered to reside as pentavalent P in phosphate minerals and organic esters. Exceptions to pentavalent P include phosphine--PH3--a trace atmospheric gas, and phosphite and hypophosphite, P anions that have been detected recently in lightning strikes, eutrophic lakes, geothermal springs...
متن کاملThe Carbon Cycle and Biogeochemical Dynamics in Lake Sediments
The concentrations of organic carbon (OC) and CaCO 3 in lake sediments are often inversely related. This relation occurs in surface sediments from different locations in the same lake, surface sediments from different lakes, and with depth in Holocene sediments. Where data on accumulation rates are available, the relation holds for organic carbon and CaCO 3 accumulation rates as well. An increa...
