Verification of the silica deficiency hypothesis based on biogeochemical trends in the aquatic continuum of Lake Biwa-Yodo River-Seto Inland Sea, Japan
Article Abstract:
The aquatic continuum composed of Lake Biwa, the Yodo River and the Seto Inland Sea, Japan, where the natural conditions make the silica deficiency less likely to emerge due to the inherently rich supply of dissolved silicate was investigated. The results showed that the silica was retained both in the lake and nearby the estuary.

The microbial role in hot spring silicification
Article Abstract:
The method in which microorganisms silicify, and the influence microorganisms actually have on the construction of hot spring sinters is discussed. Microorganisms impart an influence on the fabric of the siliceous sinters that form around hot spring vents.
