Global spatial distribution of natural riverine silica inputs to the coastal zone

Silica, SiO<sub>2</sub>, in dissolved (DSi) and particulate (PSi) form, is both a major product of continental weathering as well as an essential nutrient in terrestrial and aquatic systems. Here we present estimates of the spatial distribution of riverine silica fluxes u...
