      Glacier meltwater supplies silicon (Si) and iron (Fe) sourced from weathered bedrock to downstream ecosystems. However,the extent to which these nutrients reach the ocean is regulated by the nature of the benthic cycling of dissolved Siand Fewithin fjord systems,given the rapid deposition of reactive particulate fractions at fjord heads. Here, we examine the benthic cycling of the two nutrients at ...
