Riverine exports of silicon (Si) influence global carbon cycling through the growth of marine
diatoms, which account for∼ 25% of global primary production. Climate change will likely …

Fluvial silicon (Si) plays a critical role in controlling primary production, water quality, and
carbon sequestration through supporting freshwater and marine diatom communities …

Concentration-discharge (CQ) relationships provide insight into solute transport and
biogeochemical processes for watersheds. A 30+ year, high-resolution dataset from the …

Microbial biofilms form the base of many stream food webs. Because biofilm activity shapes
the energy flow and material cycle of stream ecosystems, understanding what limits biofilm …

Terrestrial silicon (Si) from biogeochemically weathered rocks and soils into oceans must
pass through several water bodies, resulting in some Si immobilized. Hence, the knowledge …

Aims Previous studies have shown that silicon (Si) can affect plant growth and yield by
regulating the availability of other nutrients. However, the mechanisms by which Si affects …

Excessive chemical substances in agricultural drainage water have serious adverse effects
on the ecological environment of the watershed into which they are discharged. Therefore, it …

In his text book entitled, Principles of Environmental Geochemistry, Nelson Eby,(2004) states
that “environmental geochemistry involves an understanding of how natural systems work …
