    Abstract

    Abstract Image

    The formation of reactive manganese (Mn) species is emerging as a key regulator of carbon oxidation rates, and thus CO2 emissions, in soils and sediments. Many subsurface environments are characterized by steep oxygen gradients, forming oxic–anoxic interfaces that enable rapid redox cycling of Mn. Here, we examined the impact of Mn(II)aq oxidation along oxic–anoxic interfaces on carbon oxidation in soils using laboratory-based diffusion reactors. A combination of cyclic voltammetry, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray microprobe imaging revealed a tight coupling between Mn(II)aq oxidation and carbon oxidation at the oxic–anoxic interface. Specifically, zones of Mn(II)aq oxidation across the oxic–anoxic transition also exhibited the greatest lignin oxidation potential, carbon solubilization, and oxidation. Microprobe imaging further revealed that the generation of Mn(III)-dominated precipitates coincided with carbon oxidation. Combined, our findings demonstrate that biotic Mn(II)aq oxidation, specifically the formation of Mn(III) species, contributes to carbon oxidation along oxic–anoxic interfaces in soils and sediments. Our results suggest that we should regard carbon oxidation not merely as a function of molecular composition, which insufficiently predicts rates, but in relation to microenvironments favoring the formation of critically important oxidants such as Mn(III).
