What is Marine Macroalgae as Silicon Sinks about?
This study investigates biogenic silica (BSi) concentrations in marine macroalgae from two temperate estuaries, revealing that macroalgae can contain significant amounts of BSi, comparable to freshwater macrophytes and terrestrial plants. The research indicates that BSi concentrations vary across different phyla, particularly high in Rhodophyta, and estimates a potential global macroalgae uptake rate of up to 0.71 Tmol silicon per year. The findings suggest that macroalgae are an overlooked but important si
