This research explores the biological processes involved in the silica cycle, particularly in tropical river systems. It aims to understand how vegetation and diatoms contribute to silica mobilization and its ecological implications.
Our scientific concept of the silica cycle is evolving rapidly.
New research during the first decennium of this new millennium has clearly shown that silica mobilisation from terrestrial habitats to the aquatic continuum is biologically controlled.
Vegetation takes up dissolved silica (DSi) from soil and ground-water and temporally stores it as amorphous Si (ASi) in biomass.
This new concept of biological buffering of the silica cycle is essential.
The relative newness and novelty of the concept…
