Production and dissolution of biogenic silica in the ocean: revised global estimates, comparison with regional data and relationship to biogenic sedimentation

DM Nelson, P Tréguer, MA Brzezinski… - Global …, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
We estimate the global rate of biogenic silica production in the ocean to be between 200
