Vegetation and proximity to the river control amorphous silica storage in a riparian wetland (Biebrza National Park, Poland)

Wetlands can modify and control nutrient fluxes between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet little is known of their potential as biological buffers and sinks in the biogeochemical silica cycle. We investigated the storage of amorphous silica (ASi) in a central-European riparian wetland. The var...
