The spatial patterns of the TSP were the highest near 4°N and decreased towards the north, which could be attributed to the input of P from continental sources (Figures 4A-C).The distributions of POP and PIP were quite similar, suggesting a close connection …
ادامه مطلب2.2. Biogenic Silica Analysis [12] The Olivarez Lyle and Lyle [2002] KOH-digestion method for biogenic silica analysis was used to determine the concentration of bio-SiO 2 in the sediment samples. The method was modified to use 1 M KOH for the digestion rather than 2 M KOH, after testing showed that the weaker KOH solution was just as effective.
ادامه مطلبThe recycling of biogenic silica (bSiO2) produced by diatoms is a vital process sustaining a significant fraction of primary production in the oceans. The efficiency with which bSiO2 dissolves controls the availability of nutrient silicon in the water column, and modulates the export of organic carbon to the deep sea. Environmental conditions …
ادامه مطلبChanges in the levels of biogenic silica (BSi%) in lake sediments have been widely used in order to study lake productivity and palaeoclimatic changes. However, the provenance of biogenic silica (BSi) needs to be investigated for each lake, especially for large lakes, as does the relationship between levels of BSi and relevant environmental factors. In this …

Silicon is an essential nutrient for the growth of siliceous organisms, such as diatoms, radiolarians, silicoflagellates, and siliceous sponges, which utilize dissolved silica to form their amorphous hydrated silica shells (also referred to as biogenic silica (bSiO 2) or opal) (Van Cappellen et al., 2002).Diatoms are the dominant …
ادامه مطلبSediment serves as the ultimate sink for the biogenic elements that are buried and stocked during sedimentation processes ( et al., 2013). Anthropogenic and natural disturbances that alter the deposition could eventually influence the contents of the biogenic elements in the sediment core (Heathcote et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2019).
