Sulfur is an important element in the Earth’s lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. Like carbon and nitrogen, sulfur occurs in reduced and oxidized forms. Biological processes, such as the reduction of sulfate by bacteria, change the oxidation state of sulfur.Sulfur Isotope GeochemistryThe chemical characteristics of a single stable sulfur isotope are influenced by the amount…
