    Lake sedimentary biogenic silica from diatoms constitutes a significant global sink for aluminium

    Diatoms play an important role in marine biogeochemical cycle of aluminum (Al), as dissolved Al is taken up by diatoms to build their siliceous frustules and is involved in the sedimentation of diatomaceous bi...
