The 24 pages that link to Diatom, each with the reason it gives.

• Silicon dioxideRelated: Diatoms build biological silica structures that accumulate in sediments.

• Brown algaeRelated: Diatoms and brown algae are distinct stramenopile groups with some shared evolutionary ancestry.

• OomyceteRelated: Diatoms share stramenopile ancestry with oomycetes but differ in nutrition and lifestyle.

• VarveRelated: Seasonal blooms can add distinctive biological material to lake sediment layers.

• ChertRelated: Their silica shells can contribute to the sediments from which some chert forms.

• Siliceous oozeRelated: Diatom frustules supply much of the silica preserved in productive surface waters.

• PaleolimnologyRelated: Diatom assemblages help infer past lake chemistry, nutrients, and ecology.

• Pluvial lakeRelated: Fossil diatom communities can indicate past lake depth, salinity, and water conditions.
