- W3172372893 abstract "Ferralsols upon ultramafic rocks are among the most Cr-enriched soils at the Earth surface. Weathering and erosion of these soils represents a major source of Cr for coastal sediments downstream of ultramafic settings. Although Cr mainly occurs as Cr(III)-bearing chromite and Fe-(hydr)oxides in Ferralsols upon ultramafic rocks, several evidences of oxidized Cr(VI) in relation with Mn-oxides have been reported. Regarding the high solubility and toxicity of this latter Cr species, a thorough characterization of Cr and Mn crystal-chemistry in tropical sedimentary settings downstream of Ferralsols upon ultramafic rocks is needed to evaluate the potential threat towards the biodiversity of these coastal environments. In this study, we determined Cr and Mn speciation across a shore-to-reef gradient in lagoon sediments downstream of one of the largest lateritized ultramafic regolith in New Caledonia that contains up to 5 wt% Cr2O3. Chromium K-edge XANES data emphasized the absence of Cr(VI) and indicated a major hosting of Cr by chromite and clay minerals close to the shore, whereas Cr-bearing goethite dominated Cr speciation close to the reef. Manganese K-edge XANES data indicated a major hosting of Mn by clay minerals close to the shore, whereas Mn‑carbonates dominated Mn speciation close to the reef. The lack of Mn-oxides detection was considered to explain the absence of Cr(VI) in the studied sediments. This result thus suggests that, despite their shallow character that can favor occasional re-oxidation of the top-layer sediments upon re-suspension events, lagoon sedimentary settings downstream of Cr-rich Ferralsols upon ultramafic rocks appear rather favorable to Cr sequestration as the less mobile and less toxic Cr(III) form. However, the reverse trends observed from the shore to the reef between the chromite and goethite contributions to Cr speciation, as well as the decrease of the Cr/Ti ratio, suggest that a fraction of Cr could have been released towards the water column upon partial weathering of chromite to goethite during sediments transport across the shore-to-reef gradient. This latter point emphasizes the potential hazard that could still represent Cr for the exceptional biodiversity of tropical lagoon ecosystems downstream of Cr-rich Ferralsols, despite the absence of detectable Cr(VI). It thus calls for further studies aimed at better evaluating the stability of Cr(III)-bearing mineral phases upon early diagenesis in these shallow sedimentary settings." @default.
