Microbe‐mediated mineralization is ubiquitous in nature, involving bacteria, fungi, viruses,
and algae. These mineralization processes comprise calcification, silicification, and iron …

Marine authigenic carbonates form shallow-water microbialites, mud mounds, and
hydrocarbon-seep deposits and contain appreciable amounts of trace elements that yield …

ABSTRACT The global Precambrian–Cambrian system includes an important series of
hydrocarbon-bearing strata. However, because rocks of this age are typically deeply buried …

Organic-rich carbonate sediments are deposited in a range of environments today and in the
geologic past. A significant part of organic matter (OM) degradation in such sediments often …

Microbially-driven sulfur cycling is a vital biogeochemical process in the sulfur-rich
mangrove ecosystem. It is critical to evaluate the potential impact of sulfur transformation in …

Recently an innovative sulfur conversion-associated enhanced biological phosphorus
removal (S-EBPR) process has been developed for treating sulfate-rich wastewater. This …

Geochemical and palynological proxies were determined for 31 samples representing the
upper Coniacianlowermost Campanian Abu Roash A Member, collected from the BED2-3 …

Lacustrine shale oil and gas are important fields for unconventional exploration and
development in China, and organic-rich shale deposition lays down the critical foundation …

Global climate change and tectonism are principal causes of spatial and temporal
differences in Ordovician-Silurian (Osingle bond S) transition sedimentary environments of …

A varying abundance of carbonate-bearing fluorapatite (CFA) nodules in Eocene lacustrine
shale in the Bohai Bay Basin was observed; however, mineralogical and geochemical …
