TI - Silicon in life : A bioinorganic solution to bioorganic essentiality KW - SILICON (IN BIOLOGY) KW - ALUMINIUM (IN BIOLOGY) KW - CATCHMENT ACIDIFICATION KW - GLOBAL WARMING KW - BIOCHEMICAL EVOLUTION N2 - The essentiality of silicon in biota is described from the perspective of the interrelationships between geochemistry, biological evolution and biochemistry. A punctuated, as opposed to continuous, silicon bi-cycle implicates the environmental silicic acid concentration in such seemingly diverse processes as catchment acidification, global warming and chronic disease in man UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/17k3A--MboJk-OGbSfbmEEmIjzEZz9iri/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
