Phytoliths are composed of 66 to 91% SiO2 and 1 to 6% organic carbon (C) known as phytolith occluded carbon (PhytOC). PhytOC is critical for long-term C storage in the agroecosystem.

Comment on "Possible source of ancient carbon in phytolith concentrates from harvested grasses" by G. M. Santos et al. (2012) [PDF]
Santos et al. (2012) address the important issue that <SUP>14</SUP>C dating of the carbon occluded in silica phytoliths (PhytOC) isolated from contemporary plant materials can produce ages that are incompatible, being often several kyr older,

Carbon (C) occluded in phytoliths is stable and an important source of long-term C storage into the agroecosystems. As a silicon (Si) accumulator crop, rice produces a large amount of phytolith occluded carbon (PhytOC) and which plays a crucial role in ...

Changes in land use are associated with the accumulation of soil phytolith-occluded organic carbon
Organic carbon occluded in phytoliths is extremely stable and plays important roles in long-term preservation of soil and stable carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems.

Background Equine pastern dermatitis (EPD) is a common multifactorial clinical syndrome in horses. Treatment can be difficult; pathogenesis and triggering factors cannot always be determined. Objectives To assess risk factors for developing EPD in a large group of horses kept under the same conditions and to analyse whether or not a spot‐on containing ...

Abstract Carbon is not only the foundation of all life on our planet, but also an element that persists in detrital material long after living organisms die. Quantifying the relative amount of living and nonliving carbon in suspended particles in the ocean is challenging and rarely done; yet it is key to understanding the fate of organic matter and ...

Particulate Backscattering in the Global Ocean: A Comparison of Independent Assessments
Abstract How well do we know the particulate backscattering coefficient (bbp) in the global ocean? Satellite lidar bbp has never been validated globally and few studies have compared lidar bbp to bbp derived from reflectances (via ocean color) or in situ observations.
