摘要： Trench systems are some of the most important geodynamic settings on Earth and have a substantial influence on the global metal cycle. Trench environments are affected not only by episodic deposition of volcanic ash, but also exhibit a continuous water–rock chemical exchange. Ferromanganese nodules, which are archives for the marine Mn cycle, were first discovered in the southern Mariana Trench during China's major 10,000-meter hadal trench scientific expedition in 2016. Nevertheless, their geochemical characteristics and formation mechanism in sedimentary environments of the trench zone remain enigmatic. In this study, these ferromanganese nodules and surrounding sediments were examined by geochemical and microbial methods. Bulk geochemistry indicated that trench nodules are characterized by high Mn/Fe ratios and nodule textures indicate a rapid growth rate, with Mn mainly from two sources: volcanic ash alteration and fluids discharge from the trench seabed. High-resolution in situ geochemical analysis categorized microlayers of an individual nodule into three types. Type I is the interior part that has a high Mn/Fe ratio (>20) and high growth rate (52.19–3571.73 mm/Myr), and formed by the influence of fluid discharge activities around this region. Type II is laminae from the exterior part that have a hydrogenetic origin with lower Mn/Fe ratio (0.01–2.50) and lower growth rate (4.54–9.86 mm/Myr). Type III is laminae from the exterior part that have a diagenetic origin with moderately high Mn/Fe ratio (2.5–15.0) and moderately high growth rate (12.40–18.93 mm/Myr). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the bacterial community structures in the nodule-bearing sediment samples, dominated by Shewanella and Colwellia, were substantially different from those of reference sediment samples. For the first time, we propose a conceptual model for a geochemical Mn cycle and nodule formation in trench sedimentary environments using both geochemical and microbial data.
