Abstract


The biogeochemistry of sulfur is the most important mechanism in the earth science community due to its impact on many different biogeochemical processes such as, like carbon (C) Nitrogen (N) and heavy metals. The role of sulfur cycle at coastal wetlands and, role in complex network of transformation processes and the long-term stability of wetland systems are still not sufficiently understood. So in this review paper we are providing many of the advances in coastal wetland sulfur biogeochemical research of the last several years. This review paper includes (1) the sulfur mechanism and the action in coastal wetlands (2) Physico-chemical processes, such as.,  mineral precipitation and dissolution, biologically catalyzed redox reactions such as assimilatory and dissimilatory sulfate reduction, as well as oxidation/ reduction reactions (3) the interactions between sulfur transformations with other sediment minerals (4) Sulfur gas emissions to atmosphere from wetlands (5) microbial sulfur cycle (6) indicators for wetland biological assessment. Hence this review attempt has been to explain various aspects of the sulfur ecological mechanism in coastal wetlands
