Fecha de publicación: | 7-abr-2015 | Editor: | National Academy of Sciences (U.S.) | Citación: | Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 112(14): 4239-4244 (2015) | Resumen: | Marine diatoms are silica-precipitating microalgae that account for over half of organic carbon burial in marine sediments and thus they play a key role in the global carbon cycle. Their evolutionary expansion during the Cenozoic era (66 Ma to present) has been associated with a superior competitive ability for silicic acid relative to other siliceous plankton such as radiolarians, which evolved by reducing the weight of their silica test. Here we use a mathematical model in which diatoms and radiolarians compete for silicic acid to show that the observed reduction in the weight of radiolarian tests is insufficient to explain the rise of diatoms. Using the lithium isotope record of seawater as a proxy of silicate rock weathering and erosion, we calculate changes in the input flux of silicic acid to the oceans. Our results indicate that the long-term massive erosion of continental silicates was critical to the subsequent success of diatoms in marine ecosystems over the last 40 My and suggest an increase in the strength and efficiency of the oceanic biological pump over this period | Descripción: | 6 pages, 4 figures, supporting information online at www.pnas.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1073/pnas.1412883112/-/DCSupplemental | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1412883112 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/117689 | DOI: | 10.1073/pnas.1412883112 | ISSN: | 1091-6490 |
