The size-fractionated composition of particulate biogenic silica and its ecological significance in the Changjiang Estuary area

The concentrations and distributions of particulate biogenic silica (PBSi) and its size-fractionated composition (>20 μm, 0.8–20 μm) of the Changjiang Estuary and its adjacent area were investigated during the summer of 2011. PBSi, primarily produced by diatoms in the surface waters of oceans...
