The interplay of microbially mediated and abiotic reactions in the biogeochemical Fe cycle
Abstract
Many iron (Fe) redox processes that were previously assumed to be purely abiotic, such as photochemical Fe reactions, are now known to also be microbially mediated. Owing to this overlap, discerning whether biotic or abiotic processes control Fe redox chemistry is a major challenge for geomicrobiologists and biogeochemists alike. Therefore, to understand the network of reactions within the biogeochemical Fe cycle, it is necessary to determine which abiotic or microbially mediated reactions are dominant under various environmental conditions. In this Review, we discuss the major microbially mediated and abiotic reactions in the biogeochemical Fe cycle and provide an integrated overview of biotic and chemically mediated redox transformations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
