The dissolution rates of diatom frustules, phytoliths, two diatomaceous lake sediments, a siliceous ooze from the Southern Ocean, a diatomite deposit, and a synthetic amorphous silica were measured in flow‐through reactors supplied with either seawater or freshwater. Although the rates varied by more than one order of magnitude among the different siliceous materials, for any given solid the rate was systematically higher in seawater than freshwater, on average by a factor of five. Flow‐through…

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…

Controls on the Recycling and Preservation of Biogenic Silica from Biomineralization to Burial

The recycling of biogenic silica (bSiO2) produced by diatoms is a vital process sustaining a significant fraction of primary production in the oceans. The efficiency with which bSiO2 dissolves…

Biogenic silica dissolution in the oceans: Reconciling experimental and field‐based dissolution rates

On average, 50–60% of diatomaceous opal produced in the euphotic zone redissolves within the upper 100 m of the water column. High specific silica dissolution rates in the surface ocean contrast with…

Accelerated dissolution of diatom silica by marine bacterial assemblages

Bacteria-mediated silicon regeneration rates varied with diatom type and bacterial assemblage; observed rates could explain most of the reported upper-ocean silicon regeneration.
