It is however indispensable to the activity of several biomineralizing marine organisms, some of which play an essential role in the biological pump of oceanic carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book presents notions indispensable to the knowledge on the silicon biogeochemical cycle in ocean systems, first of all describing the main quantitative analysis techniques and examination of the major organisms involved in the cycle. The author then moves on to study the most up-to-date processes to control the use of silicon and its regeneration in natural conditions, before mentioning the central role played by this original element in the control of all the biogeochemical cycles in the global ocean. The available information finally enables the global biogeochemical budget of silicon in the marine environment to be quantified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Chemical forms of silicon in the marine field\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Technical study of stocks and flows\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Marine producers of biogenic silica\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Cellular mechanisms of silica deposition in diatoms\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Dissolution of biogenic silica and regeneration of silicic acid\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Overall balance of silicon in the oceans\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Earth sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Earth sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Earth%20sciences%20%5BRB%5D%22\"\u003eRB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-ISTE","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52449392787736,"sku":"9781848218154","price":107.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781848218154.jpg?v=1785197888","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-biogeochemical-cycle-of-silicon-in-the-ocean-paperback-softback-9781848218154","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
