Solomon Islands Cilicate Concentration

Map of silicate concentration of Solomon Islands Ocean. Silicate, or silicic acid (H4SiO4) is an important nutrient in the ocean. Silicate is an essential chemical requirement for very specific biota, inlcuding diatoms, radiolaria, silicoflagellates and siliceous sponges.
The map was developed my MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Data is based on CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS).
