N2 - The contention of Kepkay et al. (1981), that the description of transport of dissolved sulfate in sediments must explicitly include the effects of bacterial sulfate reduction, is shown to be conceptually confusing and unnecessary. Moreover, during their own measurements of diffusion coefficients it is unlikely that they were, in fact, bothered by sulfate reduction.
