The interplay between iron redox and OC cycling

Caption

The figure illustrates the dual role of iron in the redox reactions and preservation/ degradation of OC in marine sedimentary environments. It emphasizes the significant effect of early diagenetic redox zonation and the iron sulfides on the selective preservation and degradation of OC.
