Over the past few decades, we have realized that the silica cycle is strongly intertwined with
other major biogeochemical cycles, like those of carbon and nitrogen, and as such is …

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust and is an important
nutrient in the ocean. The global Si cycle plays a critical role in regulating primary …

We present depth profiles of Cd isotopes and concentrations from the Southern Ocean at
four stations in the Atlantic sector along the Greenwich Meridian (47° S to 68° S) located …

Geological reservoir δ30Si values have increasingly been applied as paleoclimate and
paleoproductivity proxies. Many of these applications rely on the assumption that the surface …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient that limits primary productivity throughout the surface
of the Southern Ocean. Here, we present the first high-resolution depth profiles for dissolved …

This paper provides an overview of stable isotope analysis (H, C, N, O, Si) of the macro-and
microscopic remains from aquatic organisms found in lake sediment records and their …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient, playing an important role in several key processes in
marine phytoplankton. Here, we present the first high-resolution depth profiles for dissolved …

Almost all organisms on Earth either harvest energy and produce organic matter through
photosynthesis, or feed on organic matter that was ultimately produced by these …

The fractionation of silicon (Si) stable isotopes by biological activity in the surface ocean
makes the stable isotope composition of silicon (δ30Si) dissolved in seawater a sensitive …

The riverine transport of elements from land to ocean is an integral flux for many element
cycles and an important climate regulating process over geological timescales. This flux …
