Structure and function of a silicic acid channel Lsi1 [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Silicon is a beneficial element for plant growth and production, especially in rice. Plant roots take up silicon in the form of silicic acid. Silicic acid channels, which belong to the NIP subfamily of aquaporins, are responsible for silicic acid uptake.

Enhanced silicate weathering is not limited by silicic acid saturation. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2011 Enhanced weathering of olivine as a means of sequestering carbon is investigated by Kohler et al. (1). Specifically, the study discusses the potential distribution of fine olivine powder, obtained from dunite mines, in the humid tropic regions of the Amazon and Congo River catchments. Olivine (forsterite) dissolution (Eq.
