Dissolution of Biogenic Silica in Permeable Coastal Sands
Riverine inputs, groundwater efflux, and terrestrial runoff enrich coastal waters with silica. Diatoms, which require silicic acid (Si(OH)4) for frustule formation and cell growth, are therefore predominantly found in these waters. Less than half of the pelagic primary production is consumed in the...
