{"title":"Biogeochemistry of carbonates: recorders of past oceans and climate.","authors":"Rosalind E M Rickaby, Daniel P Schrag","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Trace metal proxies bound within the calcium carbonate tests of oceanic organisms provide a unique insight into how the climate system works on timescales which span eight orders of magnitude, from annual to hundreds of millions of years. Whilst the motivation for developing these proxies was the idea that thermodynamic equilibria control the chemistry during precipitation, in reality the application of trace metal proxies relies upon empirical calibration. Such calibration can be applied to a wide range of environmental reconstructions, but more accurate application of proxies requires a mechanistic understanding of the biomineralization process. The partitioning of trace metals into biogenic carbonates reflects to some extent the same pattern as an inorganic crystal, but there is an additional selectivity and differing environmental sensitivity to, e.g., temperature, which confirms that biochemical processes also play a role in the uptake and assembly of ions into a crystal. Different organisms display differing degrees of biological control on their carbonate chemistry. Aragonitic coral chemistry is most similar to inorganic precipitation from seawater whilst coccolithophores are most different, and these contrasts correlate with the degree of control of the organism over its biomineralization. Selectivity between Ca and trace metals during biomineralization arises during transport by pumps, channels, or nucleation upon an organic matrix. The biological selectivity of the transporters and matrix is strikingly similar in its base chemistry to the selective assembly of ions into a crystal. In each case, the selectivity between Ca2+ and trace metals derives from the balance between the energy required for dehydration of the hexaaqua complex of the cation, and the energy released from the new coordination geometry of binding with either carbonyl oxygen from polysaccharides or amino acids, or carbonate oxygen in the crystal. This is a speculative idea, but with some careful chemical calculations based on the energy of binding of Ca2+ or the trace metal ions to these macromolecular structures, it provides an alternative thermodynamic framework within which to consider the application of trace metal proxies.</p>","PeriodicalId":54739,"journal":{"name":"Metal Ions in Biological Systems","volume":"44 ","pages":"241-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25149102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, it is one of the most useful, and perhaps no other metal has found such a wide range of industrial applications. It has been used extensively since Antiquity, which is when environmental Pb contamination began. With respect to contamination since industrialization, peat bogs and polar ice show that coal combustion and industrial emissions were as important during the first half of the 20th century as gasoline lead was during the second half. Air Pb concentrations have generally declined since the introduction of pollution control technologies and the gradual elimination of leaded gasoline additives. However, all of the most recent published studies of the isotopic composition of Pb in aerosols and archival samples show that anthropogenic sources continue to dominate the atmospheric Pb flux by a considerable margin. The health effects of childhood Pb exposure is a growing concern, as deleterious effects are seen at BLL well below those currently believed to be safe, and safe levels are one or two orders of magnitude above the estimated natural values. Mobilization of Pb-rich particles from highly contaminated soils in urban areas is an on-going health concern for many large cities. Even in areas far removed from industrial emission sources, Pb concentrations in the surface soil layers are far above their natural concentration range. In acidic forest soils, Pb concentrations are not only elevated in the biologically active zone, but also in their corresponding pore fluids. Accurate and precise measurements of the isotopic composition of Pb employing appropriate clean lab protocols, will continue to advance our understanding of the fate of Pb in the environment and its impact on human and ecosystem health.","PeriodicalId":54739,"journal":{"name":"Metal Ions in Biological Systems","volume":"43 ","pages":"239-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1201/9780824751999.ch10","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25763253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
