Dissolved (A) As and (B) Fe concentrations, and (C) pH and (D) Eh, from the 1st set of microcosms as a function of time. The starting points (time = −0.05 ~ −0.04 day) are from the pre-equilibrated microcosms right before the addition of amendments (defined as time zero). The dashed lines, beginning at 10 days, indicate the portion of the microcosm experiment where lactate was present to stimulate reducing environment. Errors represent standard deviations between duplicate microcosms, some of which are smaller than the size of symbols used. For clarity, in subplot (B), dissolved Fe concentrations from nitrate-Fe(II) treatment were plotted on the primary y-axis, whereas those from the control and nitrate-only treatment were plotted on the secondary y-axis.
