Summary
The
Silica Cycle
is a
Biogeochemical process
that involves the
Movement of silicon
, primarily in the form of
Dissolved silicic acid
, through the
Earth's Crust
, oceans, and living organisms. It plays a crucial role in
Marine Ecosystems
as it regulates the
Availability of silica
for
Diatom growth
, which is essential for
Carbon Cycling
and the
Global Climate System
.
