Silicon cycle in the soil-plant system : biogeochemical tracing using Si isotopes

Despite the suspected biological imprint on the terrestrial silicon (Si) cycle, plant contribution to the Si continental reservoir is poorly quantified. Within the soil-plant system, aqueous silicon (H4SiO40) can be retrieved from soil solution by plant uptake, clay formation and adsorption onto sec...
