Redox‐Induced Transformations of Iron Oxides Enhance Soil Organic Carbon Stabilization in an Estuarine Soil

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We investigated temporal changes in operational Fe pools and their association with soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions in an estuarine soil affected by the deposition of iron‐rich mine tailings over 6 years in Southeast Brazil. Sequential Fe extractions revealed a 56% decrease in Fe extracted with citrate–bicarbonate–dithionite alongside a 50%
