Water column dissolved silica concentration limits microphytobenthic primary production in intertidal sediments
Abstract
Primary production of microphytobenthos ( MPB ) contributes significantly to the total production in shallow coastal environments. MPB is a diverse community in which diatoms are usually the main microalgal group. Diatoms require N, P, and other nutrients as with other autotrophs, but in addition require silicate to create their outer cell wall. Therefore, dissolved silica ( DS i) might be a potential limiting factor for benthic primary...
