Production of phytolith and PhytOC and distribution of extractable Si Pools in aerobic rice as influenced by different Si sources. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2023 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. A field experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of three different sources of exogenous Si, i.e., diatomaceous earth (DE), silicic acid (SA) and rice husk ...

Phytolith-occluded carbon sequestration potential in three major steppe types along a precipitation gradient in Northern China. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 PhytOC stores of plants in various grassland steppe types show distinct difference. Climatic factors affected phytolith and PhytOC production of steppe communities mainly through altering plant production. The importance of the PhytOC store in belowground production should be taken into account when estimating PhytOC sequestration potential.

Epidemiological observations on pastern dermatitis in young horses and evaluation of essential fatty acid spot-on applications with or without phytosphingosine as prophylactic treatment [PDF]
Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 221-e62, June 2022., 2022 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.

Particulate Backscattering in the Global Ocean: A Comparison of Independent Assessments. [PDF]
Geophys Res Lett, 2021 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.

Dual Roles of Adipose Tissue in Skeletal Muscle Regeneration: Pro-Regenerative Versus Maladaptive. [PDF]
J Cachexia Sarcopenia MuscleABSTRACT Skeletal muscle accounts for approximately 40% of total body mass and is essential for locomotion, metabolic regulation and systemic homeostasis. Adipose tissue is increasingly recognized as an active component of the muscle's regenerative microenvironment.

Significance of Viral Activity for Regulating Heterotrophic Prokaryote Community Dynamics along a Meridional Gradient of Stratification in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean. [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 How microbial populations interact influences the availability and flux of organic carbon in the ocean. Understanding how these interactions vary over broad spatial scales is therefore a fundamental aim of microbial oceanography.

Phytolith-Occluded Carbon Storages in Forest Litter Layers in Southern China: Implications for Evaluation of Long-Term Forest Carbon Budget. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2019 Phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC) can be preserved in soils or sediments for thousands of years and might be a promising potential mechanism for long-term terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration.

Belowground Phytolith-Occluded Carbon of Monopodial Bamboo in China: An Overlooked Carbon Stock. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2018 Phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC), a highly stable carbon (C) fraction resistant to decomposition, plays an important role in long-term global C sequestration.

Long-term intensive management increased carbon occluded in phytolith (PhytOC) in bamboo forest soils. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2014 Carbon (C) occluded in phytolith (PhytOC) is highly stable at millennium scale and its accumulation in soils can help increase long-term C sequestration. Here, we report that soil PhytOC storage significantly increased with increasing duration under intensive management (mulching and fertilization) in Lei bamboo (Phyllostachys praecox) plantations.

Silicon Fertilizer Application Promotes Phytolith Accumulation in Rice Plants. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2019 In this study, a pot experiment was designed to elucidate the effect of varying dosages of silicon (Si) fertilizer application in Si-deficient and enriched paddy soils on rice phytolith and carbon (C) bio-sequestration within phytoliths (PhytOC).
