Iron (Fe) minerals constitute a major control on organic carbon (OC) storage in soils and
sediments. While previous research has mainly targeted Fe (oxyhydr) oxides, the impact of …

Sulfidation of ferrihydrite is known to affect the degradation of contaminants, but little was
known about the role of natural organic matter (NOM) in antibiotics degradation by sufidated …

Geochemistry of iron and trace metals in seep carbonates and its dependence on anaerobic
oxidation of methane (AOM)-driven diagenesis in cold seeps are not well documented. Here …

Particulate cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) are ubiquitous in agricultural soils of Pb–Zn mining
regions. Water management serves as an important agronomic measure altering the …

The effectiveness and mechanism of aluminum/iron co-modified calcite (Al/Fe-CA) for the
control of phosphorus (P) liberation from sediments was investigated. The results showed …

The processes that control chemical weathering of bedrock in the deep critical zone at a mm-
scale are still poorly understood, but may produce 100 s of meters of regolith and substantial …

Interaction of mackinawite (FeS) with O 2 has attracted much attention recently for
contaminant transformation due to reactive oxidant production. However, the effect of in situ …

Massive quantities of marine sedimentary rock are excavated from urban coastal areas for
making underground spaces available for infrastructure projects globally. The excavated …

This special issue contains 22 papers reflecting important aspects of the 13th International
Conference on The Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements (ICOBTE), which was held in …

Massive quantities of marine sedimentary rock are excavated from urban coastal areas. The
excavated rock often releases arsenic with concurrent oxidation of framboidal pyrite, but the …
