AI-generated Abstract
This study investigates the formation of green rust in ferruginous conditions, specifically in Lake Matano, Indonesia, and its control over nutrient availability in anoxic water columns. By examining geochemical and mineralogical processes, the research underscores the role of freshly precipitated Fe minerals, particularly green rust, in regulating essential nutrients such as phosphorus and nickel, thereby influencing ancient oceanic nutrient cycling.
