It plays a key but largely unappreciated role in many biogeochemical processes, including those that regulate climate and undergird marine food webs.\u003ci\u003eThe Silicon Cycle\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book in more than 20 years to present a comprehensive overview of the silicon cycle and issues associated with it. The book summarizes the major outcomes of the project Land-Ocean Interactions: Silica Cycle, initiated by the Scientific Community on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE) of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). It tracks the pathway of silicon from land to sea and discusses its biotic and abiotic modifications in transit as well as its cycling in the coastal seas. Natural geological processes in combination with atmospheric and hydrological processes are discussed, as well as human perturbations of the natural controls of the silicon cycle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Venugopalan Ittekkot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597261157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597261159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Island Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.06w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2007 pg. 54","brand":"Venugopalan Ittekkot","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088611520767,"sku":"9781597261159","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aeb9b361-a8d5-4a3a-8566-222da80d27fa.jpg?v=1769105726","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-silicon-cycle-venugopalan-ittekkot-9781597261159","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
