Many peatlands have been damaged by human activities like Sphagnum harvesting and
draining reflected in reduced peatland areas and ecosystem functioning. Peatlands …

Anthropogenic peatland degradation is a global threat. As peatlands store large amounts of
carbon (C) their potential for mitigation of climate change has been emphasized recently …

The policy and practice of ecological restoration and conservation in China obtained some
remarkable results. For example, Sphagnum moss growing on abandoned farmland, which …

Biogenic silicon (BSi) pools influence Si cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. As research has
been focused mainly on phytogenic BSi pools until now, there is only little information …

The significance of biogenic silicon (BSi) pools as a key factor for the control of Si fluxes from
terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems has been recognized for decades. However, while most …

Besides well‐known effects of climate and parent material on silicate weathering the role of
land use change as a driver in the global silicon cycle is not well known. Changes in …

The significance of phytoliths for the control of silicon (Si) fluxes from terrestrial to aquatic
ecosystems has been recognized as a key factor. Humankind actively influences Si fluxes by …

Abstract Aims Silicon (Si) is an essential element for siliceous organisms, including
macrophytes, phytoplankton, and diatoms. Coastal wetlands are critical for bridging the river …

The terrestrial biogeochemical silicon (Si) cycle significantly contributes to maintaining the
functions and sustainability of terrestrial ecosystems. Over the short term, the …

Silicon (Si) processing and retention play a key role in nutrients biogeochemistry cycling in
aquatic environment. In order to interpret the possibility of Si limitation, multivariate analysis …
