Biogenic silica in the Posidonia oceanica “matte”, a tool to discover past dynamics of the sponge community
The skeleton of most Porifera species consists of siliceous spicules that, after the sponge death, persist for a long time in the sediment. The reduced suspension occurring within the meadows of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica makes these habitats a stable deposit for sponge spicules. Spicules trapp...
