Biogeochemical dynamics of iron and sulfur in sediments from hydro-electric dams submitted to wetting and drying cycles
Water level changes due to the decommissioning of hydro-electric dams can result in sediment exposure to air. Oxidation of sediments can decrease the pH as a result of iron sulfides changing into iron oxides. The present study was designed to simulate drying and wetting cycles of shallow lake sedime...
