Purpose The rationale of this paper is to review the state of the art regarding the biotic and
abiotic reactions that can influence Fe availability in soils. In soil, the management-induced …

Iron (Fe) has long been a recognized physiological requirement for life, yet for many
microorganisms that persist in water, soils and sediments, its role extends well beyond that …

The iron sulfides constitute a diverse group of solids and dissolved complexes many of
which play key roles in marine systems. The group is particularly complex in the lower …
