Distribution and dissolution kinetics of biogenic silica in sediments of the northern South China Sea
The dissolution efficiency of sedssimentary biogenic silica (bSiO2) dramatically affects the regeneration of dissolved silicic acid (dSi) at the sediment-water interface, which is a crucial pathway to maintain Si balance and silicic productivity growth in marine environments. We conducted wet alkali...
