One core (CYLWA-1) from Phragrmites australis vegetated tidal flat, the Yangtz e Estuary, is selected to investigate the effect of plant on geochemical cycling o f iron and the magnetic properties of the sediments. The results show that Fe 2+ dominates in most layers of the sediments and increases with depth, except at a depth of 14~20 cm, where Fe 3+ dominates due to the abundant distribution of live roots. In the oxidized layer of 14~20 cm , χ fd , χ ARM and χ ARM /SIRM decline, sug gesting coarsening of ferrimagnetic minerals. On the contrary, the obvious incre ase in B CR and SIRM/ χ indicates relative increase of imperfect an ti-ferromagneti c minerals. It is suggested that ferrimagnetic minerals be transformed into impe rfect anti-ferromagnetic iron oxides under oxidizing environment.
