Silica Depletion Bibliography

I want to thank Lars Rahm and Nualgi Inc. for providing many of these resources. I will gladly add any other works that relate to dissolved silica importance to ecosystems, silica depletion, and how silica fluxes are affected by hydrology. Please send them or any corrections to friendsofsebago@yahoo.com - Roger Wheeler

In land silica is in two forms. crystalline and amorphous. The crystalline silica never dissolves. The amorphous form dissolves under certain conditions. ie. cold temp, presence of metal ions like Fe, Al etc. Thus from polar regions dissolved silica comes through the cold currents and surfaces in places called upwelling. In such places the diatoms bloom and the fisheries are maximum. For ex near Peru.

Global warming is upsetting natural currents and their volume with the result that the nutrients do not come in sufficient quantities from the polar regions resulting in depleted fishing.

In tropical and subtropical places pollution on the land with sewage, and other organics prevents the dissolution of silica that gets washed down to the oceans. This further limits the silica flow thats physically restricted by construction of dams.

Hence all over the world the lack of silica nutrients have upset the diatom food chain. The imbalance in the nutrients availability helps the growth of other species of algae that are not very helpful for the growth of finfish. Hence fisheries are declining.
