Hazarding a guess, but I think it's referring to something like "the biologically mediated reduction of iron".

organic iron plates, not plates of organic iron.
the plates are generated by an organic process, not out of organic materials.
you can't just remove a word from the context and act as if that doesn't change the meaning.
