Explores silica biomineralization in diatoms, radiolarians, and sponges, discussing its impact on global climate and the pH-dependence of silicon biomineralization.
Covers the principles and concepts of biomineralization, including the types of biominerals, induced vs. controlled biomineralization, and its impact on the biosphere.
Delves into silica biomineralization in diatoms, radiolarians, and sponges, exploring their origin, distribution, and impact on the ocean's silica cycle.
