Molybdenum dynamics in sediments of a seasonally-hypoxic coastal marine basin

Abstract: 20 Molybdenum (Mo) enrichments in marine sediments are a common indicator of the presence 21 of sulphide near the sediment-water interface and can thereby record historic bottom-water 22 oxygen depletion. Here, we assess the impact of temporal changes in manganese (Mn) cycling 23 and bottom-water oxygen on sedimentary Mo dynamics in a seasonally-hypoxic coastal marine 24 basin (Lake Grevelingen, the Netherlands). High resolution line scans obtained with LA-ICP-25 MS and discrete sample analyses reveal distinct… Show more

“…These sedimentary rocks are also characterized by high molar TOC/P ratios (>150), high Fe/Al, and low Mn/Al. Such a geochemical signature is typical for sediments overlain by low‐oxygen bottom waters (Algeo & Maynard, ; Mort et al, ; Sulu‐Gambari et al, ). Sediments at these sites also show evidence for a high primary productivity and photic zone euxinia as deduced from micropaleontological records, Rock‐Eval pyrolysis and biomarker analysis (supporting information Table S1).…”

“…Their activity can generate a centimetres thick suboxic zone devoid of both O 2 and H 2 S. The separation of the two half-redox reactions results in a characteristic pH signature, with a subsurface pH maximum due to the acid-consuming cathodic O 2 or NO 3 − reduction and a deeper pH minimum due to acid-forming anodic H 2 S oxidation (Nielsen et al, 2010). Such acidification stimulates the dissolution of FeS and Ca-and Mn-carbonates (Risgaard-Petersen et al, 2012;Rao et al, 2016;Sulu-Gambari et al, 2016a), with the possible corelease of trace metals like As, Co and Mo (Sulu-Gambari et al, 2017;van de Velde et al, 2017). The liberated Fe 2+ , Ca 2+ and Mn 2+ re-precipitate at the sediment surface as Feand Mn-oxides and carbonates.…”

“…Another key difference is that water column Mo is actively scavenged by particle Mn-(and sometimes Fe) oxides, which may carry Mo to the sediment-water interface (e.g. Turekian, 1977;Adelson et al, 2001;Sulu-Gambari et al, 2017), whereas U is generally enriched via diffusion into sediments (e.g. Klinkhammer and Palmer, 1991).…”
