Correction on: Puppe D, Li Z and Carey J (2026) Unexplored biogenic silica pools in terrestrial ecosystems and their significance for silicon cycling. Front. Environ. Sci. 14:1793704. doi: 10.3389/fenvs.2026.1793704Adding/removing text In the abstract there was a mistake regarding biogenic silica pools. The following sentence was stated: "In this Perspective article we outline the knowledge gaps in terrestrial non-plant biological Si cycling, highlighting the need for studies exploring the unexplored biogenic silica (BSi) pools in soil represented by bacterial and fungal silica, sponge spicules and diatom frustules, protozoic silica platelets, and claysized phytoliths." However, as phytoliths are formed in plants, their attribution to "non-plant biological Si cycling" was incorrect in this sentence. This has been corrected to read: "In this Perspective article we outline the knowledge gaps in terrestrial non-plant biological Si cycling, highlighting the need for studies exploring the unexplored biogenic silica (BSi) pools in soil represented by bacterial and fungal silica, sponge spicules and diatom frustules, and protozoic silica platelets. Moreover, we request consideration of clay-sized (<2 µm) phytoliths, which are usually omitted during gravimetric phytolith extraction from soil samples."The original version of this article has been updated.
