  abstract = {{T}he role of plants in soils development has become of crucial interest in quantifying global weathering processes. {O}n the volcanic {R}eunion {I}sland ({I}ndian {O}cean), 1 15-cm-thick phytolith-rich horizon (biogenic opal-{A}) developed at the expense of trachytic ashes between 3820 + or - 85 and 335 + or - 90 yr {B}.{P}. then, 97-138 t/km2/yr of {S}i{O}2 were biogeochemically recycled from the weathering of parent rocks through a past forest of bamboos (#{N}astus borbonicus$). {T}his rate is in the same range as the present chemical weathering rates of silica in the area, considered to be among the highest in the world. {T}hese results demonstrate that the storage of biogenic silica in soils may be significant and may retard the output of silica to rivers and ocean.
