©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Biogenic silica was measured on biomass collected onto 1.2-micrometer (um) pore-size polycarbonate filters from nutrient amendment incubation experiments conducted on surface water collected at the Long-Term Ecological Monitoring Station, MareChiara, in the Gulf of Naples, Italy between April 20 and May 19, 2022. These incubations were part of a field study on "Diatom Virus Infection of Natural Communities" (DaVINCi) and were aimed at understanding the role of silicon limitation in driving diato...

Samples were collected at Station MareChiara (40°49'N, 14°15'E), Gulf of Naples, Italy. Samples for biogenic silica measurements were collected via filtration onto 1.2-micrometer (µm) pore-size, polycarbonate filters (Millipore) and stored at -20 degrees Celsius until processing. Downstream analysis was done using a modified sodium hydroxide digestion method as described in Krause et al. 2009. Micro-molar of silicon was calculated from transmission using a spectrophotometer with a 1-centimeter (cm) cuvette.
