Journal ArticleDOI
The Scheldt estuary: a description of a changing ecosystem
TL;DR: In this paper, a description of the Scheldt estuary is presented, illustrating that human influence is intertwined with natural dynamics and possible future trends in both natural evolution and management are argued.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silica uptake in aquatic and wetland macrophytes: a strategic choice between silica, lignin and cellulose?
TL;DR: Investigation of biogenic silica, cellulose and lignin content of 16 aquatic/wetland species along the Biebrza river in Poland in June 2006 and 2007 concludes that macrophytes have an overlooked but potentially vast storage capacity for Si.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that land use is the most important controlling factor of terrestrial Si mobilization in temperate European watersheds, with sustained cultivation (>250 years) of formerly forested areas leading to a twofold to threefold decrease in baseflow delivery of Si.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silica: an essential nutrient in wetland biogeochemistry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that wetland ecosystems may be as important for Si transport and processing as they are for other important biogeochemical cycles, such as nitrogen and phosphorus cycling.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Global Biogeochemical Silicon Cycle
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of the cycling of silicon in the environment is presented, which provides inspiration for researchers to study this fascinating element, as well as providing a background environmental context to those interested in silicon.
