Exploration of the marine silver cycle in coastal and open ocean environments of the North Pacific
Five profiles of the silver concentration in the subArctic Northeast Pacific Ocean yield a broad correlation between the Ag content and dissolved Si. However, silver is depleted at intermediate depths where the 02 content is low, implying removal from oxygen-deplete waters. An eighteen-month series...

Five profiles of the silver concentration in the subArctic Northeast Pacific Ocean yield a broad correlation between the Ag content and dissolved Si. However, silver is depleted at intermediate depths where the 02 content is low, implying removal from oxygen-deplete waters. An eighteen-month series of measurements of dissolved and particulate Ag from Saanich Inlet, BC indicate that Ag concentrations in near-surface waters are influenced by processes occurring outside the inlet. Dissolved silver was not detected in sulphide-bearing deep waters in the fjord. Ag in sediment-trap particles was associated with both biogenic and mineral phases. The Ag/biogenic Si ratio of the particles is related to the concentration of dissolved Ag in the surface waters suggesting a direct link between availability of the metal and its sequestration by diatoms. |
