The Missing Silica Sink: Revisiting the Marine Sedimentary Si Cycle Using Cosmogenic 32 Si
Abstract
Burial of biogenic silica (bSi total ) in high sedimentation rate continental margins remains highly uncertain. Cosmogenic 32 Si (t 1/2 ~140 years) can be used to trace the fates of bSi total postdeposition, including as opal (bSi opal ) and diagenetically altered opal (bSi altered ), the latter dominantly authigenic clay (bSi clay ). To determine the magnitude and form of bSi total storage in coastal sediments, conventional operational leaches targeting bSi opal and bSi altered (including bSi clay ) were modified for large‐scale samples necessary for measurement of 32 Si. The 32 Si activity was used to estimate total biogenic silica burial (bSi total = bSi opal + bSi altered ) in several depositional settings: Gulf of Papua, Gulf of Mexico, Long Island Sound, and in the previously studied Amazon‐Guianas deltaic system. In subtropical and temperate regions, 32 Si was detected in both traditional biogenic silica leaches (bSi opal ) and residual authigenic clays. Traditional bSi opal and modified operational leaches designed to target the most reactive authigenic silicates (~bSi altered ) consistently underestimate authigenic clay formation (bSi clay ) and thus the magnitude of bSi total burial in temperate coastal zones and subtropical deltas by 2–4‐fold. In tropical deltas, 32 Si activities in the residual fraction after removal of bSi opal demonstrate rapid and almost complete alteration of initial bSi opal to new forms, most likely bSi clay . Globally, 4.5–4.9 Tmol/yr Si may be trapped in marine nearshore deposits as rapidly formed clay (bSi clay ), 100% of the “missing silica sink” in the marine silica budget.

Estimates of today's reverse weathering flux vary an order of magnitude.
“Estimates of today’s RW flux (mol Si/year) vary an order of magnitude (177, 178), the rate coefficient for RW reactions varies by many orders of magnitude (179, 180), and the solubility of authigenic phyllosilicates (needed to calculate RW) varies by over an order of magnitude.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
