Title: Review on the Study of Biogeochemical Cycle of Manganese in the Oceans
Abstract: The important role of trace elements and their isotopes in marine biogeochemical cycle has attracted much attention.A new international science plan,named asAn International Study of the Marine Biogeochemical Cycles of Trace Elements and Their Isotopes(GEOTRACES),was founded in recent years.Manganese(Mn)is one of the GEOTRACES key parameters in seawater and its distributions in global oceans are recommended to be studied during the GEOTRACES research cruises in the near future.The progresses in marine biogeochemical studies of Mn are reviewed in detail and the sources and transport flux,distributions,occurrence forms and transformations,biological functions and methods for measurement of Mn in the seawater are introduced.The present achievements and deficiencies together with the further advances in this field have also been presented.
