Silicon is required by sponges, some protozoans, and the phytoplankton diatoms. These salts keep cycling through the ecosystem, but additions to the supply come continually from the land, being washed into the oceans by the rivers. Neritic waters are especially fertile and support a great mass and variety of animal life because of this land drainage and the pattern of water circulation on the continental shelf. Biological productivity de- creases progressively from shallow waters over the continental shelf, to deeper waters, to the open ocean, but is also high over offshore banks and in areas of upwelling. Substantial amounts of nitrogen salts are also swept out of the air by precipitation, and there is nitrogen-fixation by Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Kendeigh, S.
