Authigenic phase formation and microbial activity control Zr, Hf, and rare earth element distributions in deep-sea brine sediments
Sediments collected from hypersaline and anoxic deep-sea basins in the eastern Mediterranean (Thetis, Kryos, Medee, and Tyro) were characterised in terms of their mineralogical composition, the distributions of rare earth elements (REE), Zr, and Hf and their content of microbial DNA. We identified t...
