摘要：

The essentiality of silicon in biota is described from the perspective of the interrelationships between geochemistry, biological evolution and biochemistry. A punctuated, as opposed to continuous, silicon bi-cycle implicates the environmental silicic acid concentration in such seemingly diverse processes as catchment acidification, global warming and chronic disease in man.
