Fig. 5: Compilation of areal sedimentary reductive removal fluxes of Re and U.
From: Overlooked shelf sediment reductive sinks of dissolved rhenium and uranium in the modern ocean
Areal sedimentary removal fluxes of Re (a) and U (b) are split into two groups: shelf (gray) vs beyond shelf (dark gray), respectively. The compiled fluxes include the diffusive fluxes estimated from porewater profiles, the total fluxes derived from the 224Ra/228Th disequilibria approach (this study), and authigenic solid phases in shelf sediments from refs. 13,14,15,28,36,46, and the representative accumulation rates used for oxic (oxygen penetration depth (OPD) > 1 cm), suboxic (OPD ≤ 1 cm), and anoxic (no dissolved oxygen (DO)) settings beyond shelf3,20. Error bars above and below the boxes indicate the 90th and 10th percentiles. The black horizontal lines of the boxes represent the 75th, 50th, and 25th percentiles.
