The relation between temperature and silica benthic exchange rates and implications for near-seabed formation of diagenetic opal

This study calculated the dissolution rates of biogenic silica deposited on the seafloor and the silicic acid benthic flux for 22 Ocean Drilling Program sites. Simple models developed for two host sediment types—siliciclastic and carbonate—were used to explain the variability of biogenic silica diss...
