Anthropogenic perturbations of the silicon cycle at the global scale: Key role of the land‐ocean transition

Silicon (Si), in the form of dissolved silicate (DSi), is a key nutrient in marine and continental ecosystems. DSi is taken up by organisms to produce structural elements (e.g., shells and phytoliths) composed of amorphous biogenic silica (bSiO 2 ). A global mass balance model of the biologically ac...
