Nutrient cycling and the biogeochemistry of manganese, iron, and zinc in jellyfish Lake, Palau
Abstract
The oxic waters in Jellyfish Lake, a stagnant marine lake in Palau, are depleted in NO3−, PO43−, dissolved Si, Mn, Fe, and Zn, while the underlying anoxic waters are significantly enriched in these species and NH3. NH3 and PO43 regeneration and dissolved sulfide production in the anoxic zone yield a stoichiometry of C138N13P for organic matter undergoing recycling in the anoxic waters. In the anoxic zone, dissolved Mn, Fe, and Zn reach maximum concentrations of 30, 22, and 2.5 nM. The Fe concentrations are consistent with mackinawite or greigite solubility control. Mn approaches saturation with respect to haurite. Zn may be controlled by the solubility of ZnS coprecipitate. The sediments are enriched in Fe and depleted in Zn relative to Asian dust at Enewetak. A two‐box model is used to calculate an eddy diffusion coefficient of 0.0015 cm2 s−1 across the chemocline. The upward diffusive loss of NH3 added to the sedimentation rate of N and multiplied by the stoichiometric C : N ratio yields an organic carbon flux into the anoxic waters of 1,200 µmol C cm−2 yr−1, which is ∼ 13% of the total primary productivity.

In some modern anoxic aqueous systems with a strong redoxcline, such as Jellyfish Lake, total dissolved Zn concentrations increase with depth due to formation of aqueous sulfide complexes.
“For instance, in some conditions where a strong redoxcline exists, such as in Jellyfish Lake, Palau, total dissolved Zn concentrations increase with depth due to the formation of aqueous sulfide complexes”

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.
