Early Diagenesis at the Benthic Boundary Layer: Oxygen and Nitrate in Marine Sediments

  • Chapter
Marine Geochemistry

Abstract

All particles settling to the sea floor continuously undergo diagenetic alteration due to physical and chemical processes in the sediment (e.g. particle mixing, compaction, redox reactions). One of the most intensely studied topic in marine geology and geochemistry is the early diagenesis of organic material deposited in marine sediments. Marine sediments are the primary long-term repository of organic matter and the analysis of the controls on the input of organic particles and the processes those undergo until they are finally buried is a major prerequisite for the reconstruction of biogeochemical cycles in the ocean. This chapter mainly focuses on processes occurring when fresh, bio-available organic material reaches the sea floor and is subject to intense bacterially mediated oxidation.
