The processes controlling preservation and recycling of particulate biogenic silica in
superficial sediments must be understood before one uses biogenic silica as a proxy in …

Production of biogenic silica and dissolution processes in the water column and surface
sediment are important aspects for the investigation and reconstruction of present and past …

The processes controlling preservation and recycling of particulate biogenic silica in
sediments must be understood in order to calculate oceanic silica mass balances. The new …

We estimate the global rate of biogenic silica production in the ocean to be between 200
and 280× 1012 mol Si yr− 1. The upper limit is derived from information on the primary …

The dissolution kinetics of biogenic silica in surface sediments collected during the
ANTARES I cruise were measured in stirred flow-through reactors. The rate data exhibit a …

In many of the recent marine silica budgets (eg, Science 268 (1995) 375), a majority of the
world's biogenic silica accumulation is attributed to the siliceous-ooze deposits in the …

Particle fluxes of biogenic silica through the water column, silica burial fluxes into the
sediments, and the flux of dissolved silica across the sediment-water interface estimated …

Early diagenetic processes play an important role in the environmental cycling of silicic acid
(H 4 SiO 4), one of the most important macronutrients in the ocean. Here, we present the first …

Rates of biogenic silica and organic carbon accumulation are reported for Antarctic deep-
sea and continental margin deposits. Naturally occurring radionuclides (226 Ra, 231 Pa …

Flow-through experiments have been performed to study the thermodynamics of biogenic
silica (opal) dissolution in deep-sea sediments. They were applied for the first time on …
