Dissolved Mn(III) is a key redox intermediate in sediments of a seasonally euxinic coastal basin by R. Klomp, R. Klomp, O. M. Żygadłowska, M. S. M. Jetten, V. E. Oldham, N. A. G. M. van Helmond, N. A. G. M. van Helmond, C. P. Slomp, C. P. Slomp, W. K. Lenstra, W. K. Lenstra

“…The dMn(III)-L transformations in summer mostly involve reactions with Fe(II) and organic matter. Modeled benthic release of Mn mainly occurs as dMn(III)-L when bottom waters are oxic, as Mn(II) upon initial bottom-water euxinia and as both Mn(II) and dMn(III)-L when the euxinia becomes persistent. …”
