Towards a global highly reactive iron cycle

摘要

The global fluxes of iron oxy(hydr)oxides into the oceans from rivers,glaciers,atmospheric dust,hydrothermal activity,coastal erosion and diagenetic recycling have been quantified.The main sources to the shelf are from rivers,atmospheric dust and diagenetic recycling,and the main sources to the deep sea originate from glaciers or are exported from the shelf.
