Anaerobic mineralization processes in the sediment or bottom water alter water composition (e.g. by removal of nitrate, production of reduced substances such as Mn " ", Fe ", NHi" and H2S hazardous release of trace elements from sediments)...

Figure 10 also shows that reduced products of anaerobic mineralization processes like H2, CH4, HS , NH4+, are ultimately oxidized by other electron acceptors. Eventually, everything is in principle oxidized by O2 sothatchemicalequilibriumis restored through the concerted action of many different types of bacteria.

Canfield (1993) and Canfield et al. (2005) have compiled published data on oxygen uptake and sulfate reduction in marine sediments and grouped these into different coastal types and into different depth regions of the ocean. Based on their data, Fig. 8.3 presents the relationship between aerobic mineralization and sulfate-based anaerobic mineralization in sediment types comprising the entire ocean floor. The sulfate reduction rates...
