Carbon mineralization in Arctic sediments northeast of Svalbard: Mn(IV) and Fe(III) reduction as principal anaerobic respiratory pathways

Carbon oxidation rates and pathways were determined in 3 sediments at latitude 79° to 81° N in the Barents Sea, where the ice cover restricts primary production to a few months of the year. Oxygen uptake (1.5 to 3.5 mmol m–2d–1) and sulfate reduction (
