In the biogeochemical dynamics of marine ecosystems, silicon is a
major element whose role has, for a long time, been underestimated.
It is however indispensable to the activity of several
biomineralizing marine organisms, some of which play an essential
role in the biological pump of oceanic carbon. This book presents
notions indispensable to the knowledge on the silicon
biogeochemical cycle in ocean systems, first of all describing the
main quantitative analysis techniques and examination of the major
organisms involved in the cycle. The author then moves on to study
the most up-to-date processes to control the use of silicon and its
regeneration in natural conditions, before mentioning the central
role played by this original element in the control of all the
biogeochemical cycles in the global ocean. The available
information finally enables the global biogeochemical budget of
silicon in the marine environment to be quantified.
