Abstract
Manganese is about the tenth most abundant element in the earth’s upper continental crust with an average abundance of 650 mg kg-1 Mn. More than 250 minerals contain Mn as an essential constituent and several thousand minerals contain Mn as a minor substituent for essential structural ions such as Fe2+ and Mg2+. In this chapter the occurrence of Mn in rocks and minerals will be discussed and related to the amounts and forms of Mn in soils.
