It is generally agreed that Mars's colour is the result of a black form of iron called magnetite
oxidising into the reddish - orange form called haematite.
Where there is no oxygen in the water, then it is impossible for the insoluble sulphides in the tailings to
oxidise into something soluble and dangerous.

into a form that's more potent at blocking pores.
It boosts the immune system, protects vision, stops the build - up of
oxidised fats, and helps to convert carbohydrates
into energy and most crucially reduces the damage done to important cell components caused by reactive oxygen molecules such as free radicals and peroxides7.

The scientists found that almost 70 % of the organic carbon initially present in the weathered bedrock had been
oxidised by soil microbes, to put, for every square kilometre they measured, somewhere between six and 18 tonnes of carbon back
into the atmosphere.
Looking at the carbon fixation - organic material decomposition as a linked process, one sees that some of the carbon fixed by photosynthesis and incorporated
into plant tissue is perhaps delayed from returning to the atmosphere until it is
oxidised by decomposition or fire.
