Efficient silicon recycling in summer in both the Polar Frontal and Subantarctic Zones of the Southern Ocean
International audience We measured biogenic silica (bSiO(2)) dissolution and production rates at 3 Southern Ocean sites with contrasting biogeochemical regimes (SAZ-Sense cruise, January to February 2007). Two sites were located in the Subantarctic Zone (SAZ) southeast and southwest of Tasmania, and...
