Short summary
We quantified different biogenic Si pools in soils of a developing ecosystem and analyzed their influence on short-term changes of the water soluble Si fraction. From our results we concluded small (< 5 µm) and/or fragile phytogenic Si structures to have the biggest impact on short-term changes of water soluble Si. Analyses of these phytogenic Si structures are urgently needed in future as they seem to represent the most important driver of Si cycling in terrestrial biogeosystems in general.
