The biogeochemical processes controlling the speciation and transport of manganese in a Colorado mountain stream were studied using a conservative tracer approach combined with laboratory experiments. The study stream, Lake Fork Creek, receives manganese-rich inflows from a wetland contaminated by acid mine drainage. A conservative tracer experiment was conducted on a 1300-m reach of the stream. Results indicate that manganese was progressively removed from the stream, resulting in a loss of 64 +/- 17 micromol day(-1) m(-1). Laboratory experiments using streamwater, mine effluent, and rocks from the stream showed the importance of surface-catalyzed oxidation and photoreduction on the speciation of manganese. The field and modeling results indicate that light generally promotes oxidation and removal of manganese from the stream, presumably through a photosynthetically enhanced oxidation process. Differences in Mn speciation within the stream suggest that reductive processes affect Mn speciation within the water column. These results identify the rapid oxidation and precipitation of MnOx as a dominant process within this freshwater stream.
