Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. ecosystems limiting factors include the temperature of the water, sunlight, the amount of nutrients, and dissolved oxygen content, which is the amount of oxygen gas dissolved in a given volume of water at a particular temperature and pressure. The salinity can also be a limiting factor in aquatic ecosystems.
Abstract: Diatoms are the world's largest contributors to biosilicification and are one of the predominant contributors to global carbon fixation. Silicon is a major limiting nutrient for diatom growth and hence is a controlling factor in primary productivity.Because our understanding of the cellular metabolism of silicon is limited, we are not fully knowledgeable about intracellular factors that may affect diatom productivity in the oceans.ilica dissolution is an important part of diatom cellular silicon metabolism, because dissolution must be prevented in the living cell, and because much of the raw material for mineralization in natural assemblages is supplied by dissolution of dead cells.
