Microbial Fe(III) reduction as a potential iron source from Holocene sediments beneath Larsen Ice Shelf
Abstract Recent recession of the Larsen Ice Shelf C has revealed microbial alterations of illite in marine sediments, a process typically thought to occur during low-grade metamorphism. In situ breakdown of illite provides a previously-unobserved pathway for the release of dissolved Fe 2+ to porewat...
