A HYPOTHESIS CONCERNING SILICA AND THE FRESHWATER PLANKTONIC DIATOMS1
Open accessAbstract
The literature was examined to relate ambient silica concentrations to numerical dominance of specific freshwater planktonic diatoms. Mean silica concentrations (mg/liter) during dominance are: Stephanodiscus astraea, 0.6; Tabellaria flocculosa asterionelloides, 0.9; Asterionella formosa, 1.7; Melosira granulata, 13.4. The concentration at time of dominance and patterns of diatom periodicity observed in many eutrophic lakes led to the hypothesis that declining ambient silica concentrations may influence the sequence of seasonal succession. When silica becomes depleted diatoms become scarce. It is suggested that some measure of “silica demand” could be used as an index of increasing eutrophication.

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.
