Analysis using IR-spectroscopy reveals silica ratios in sapropel across different landscape zones in Western Siberia.

Biogenic silica content ranges from 12% to 29% across lakes in various landscape zones.
Siliceous sapropel shows biogenic SiO₂ content of 12–29%, while calcareous sapropel ranges from 13–25%.
The analysis utilized IR-spectroscopy to determine the ratios of biogenic to silicate silica in sapropel deposits.
Findings suggest significant variability in hydrochemical parameters and sapropel composition in these lakes.

Strakhovenko et al. (2025) studied this question.
