TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how the rates and pathways of anaerobic organic carbon mineralization (AOCM) of tidal freshwater wetlands change with low-level increases in salinity, and investigated the rate and controls of microbial iron and sulfate reduction, methane production, and total AOCM in tidal wetlands along a freshwater to oligohaline (0.1-3.3) gradient in the Min River Estuary in southeastern China.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of rhizosphere processes on dissimilatory ferric iron reduction (FeR) is investigated in the root zone of three rhizobox plants.

TL;DR: Though the rhizosphere effect promoted the rates of three terminal metabolic pathways, it showed great preference towards microbial Fe(III) reduction in the tidal marsh soils, which affected the potential of total SOC mineralization together with the abundance and diversity of total bacteria.

TL;DR: In this article, root ferric iron [Fe(III)] plaque formation and soil carbon decomposition in response to salinity and flooding is studied in a mesocosm loaded with soils from a tidal freshwater wetland and subjected to three salinity treatments.

TL;DR: The findings highlight that the Rhizosphere effect transfer Fe from the bulk soil to the rhizosphere and especially redirects it from FeS associations to microbially-mediated Fe redox cycling, which could be responsible for buffering soils and organisms from sulfide accumulation and stimulate C mineralization in the tidal wetland ecosystem.
