Wolfgang Bettighofer cc-by-nc-sa-3.0

Ditylum brightwellii is a species of diatoms in the family Lithodesmiaceae. They are found in marine habitat. They are native to Paraná, Sergipe, Rio Grande Do Sul, Bahia, Maranhao, SãO Paulo, Alagoas, Pernambuco, Pará, Espirito Santo, Amapá, Rio Grande Do Norte, and Rio De Janeiro. Dead Ditylum brightwellii form siliceous oozes.

URI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_00000447
Definition: An aquatic biome that comprises systems of open-ocean and unprotected coastal habitats, characterized by exposure to wave action, tidal fluctuation, and ocean currents as well as systems that largely resemble these. Water in the marine biome is generally within the salinity range of seawater: 30 to 38 ppt.

Definition: Siliceous ooze is a marine sediment composed of the debris of plankton with silica shells, such as diatoms and radiolaria. This ooze is limited to areas with high biological productivity, such as the polar oceans, and upwelling zones near the equator. The least common type of sediment, it covers only 15% of the ocean floor. It accumulates at a slower rate than calcareous ooze: 0.2-1 cm / 1000 yr.
