Sediment Flux Model for Manganese and Iron.

Abstract

Iron and manganese were installed as state variables in a previously developed sediment diagenesis model. The comprehensive model now incorporates nutrients, oxygen and sulfide, and iron and manganese. The model was initially calibrated using long-term mesocosm data The mesocosms contained water and sediments removed from Narragansett Sound, an estuarine environment Validation of the model was conducted using in situ data from two freshwater systems, Onondaga Lake and Croton Reservoir.
