• The world ocean silica cycle. (2013, background): “Such limitation of the gross production of biogenic silica by iron has a drastic impact on the export and burial of biogenic silica (Ragueneau et al. 2006).”
• The Global Biogeochemical Silicon Cycle (2009, background): “The biological carbon pump in the ocean is often referred to as the “biological Si pump” [7].”
• Phytoplankton as Key Mediators of the Biological Carbon Pump: Their Responses to a Changing Climate (2018, background): “unique among phytoplankton, because they require Si in the form of silicic acid (Si(OH)4) for growth and production of their frustules, which are made of biogenic silica (bSiO2) and act as ballast [17,35].”
• Diatom bloom‐derived bottom water hypoxia off the Changjiang estuary, with and without typhoon influence (2017, background): “…respiration helps to destroy the organic matrix that protects the surface of the opaline diatom tests (Sarmiento and Gruber 2013), thereby accelerating opal dissolution (Bidle and Azam 1999; Ragueneau et al. 2006) and silicate recycling (Brzezinski et al., 2003; Tr eguer and De La Rocha 2013).”
• Major contribution of diatom resting spores to vertical flux in the sub-polar North Atlantic (2013, background): “…layers to the inner reaches of the ocean depends upon several factors, including the aggregation and disaggregation of particles and organisms, microbial remineralization, and grazing and fecal pellet production by zooplankton (reviewed in De La Rocha and Passow (2007), Ragueneau et al. (2006)).”
• Geoengineering impact of open ocean dissolution of olivine on atmospheric CO2, surface ocean pH and marine biology (2013, background): “…of one mole of olivine leads in the surface ocean to an increase in total alkalinity by 4 moles and in silicic acid (H4SiO4) by one mole, the latter is a limiting nutrient for diatoms in large sections of the world’s oceans (Nelson et al 1995, Dugdale and Wilkerson 1998, Ragueneau et al 2006).”
• Mesopelagic zone ecology and biogeochemistry - a synthesis (2010, background): “Adapted from Ragueneau et al. (2006). 4.”
• Effects of rising temperature on the formation and microbial degradation of marine diatom aggregates (2009, background): “Decomposition of diatom cells is tightly coupled to the dissolution of silica from diatom frustules (Ragueneau et al. 2006).”
