Long-term farmland abandonments remarkably increased the phytolith carbon sequestration in soil [PDF]
Carbon Balance and ManagementBackground Phytolith-occluded organic carbon (PhytOC) is an important mechanism of long-term stable carbon sinks in terrestrial ecosystems. Farmland abandonment is a widespread land use change in the process of urbanization and industrialization and is ...

Production of carbon occluded in phytolith is season-dependent in a bamboo forest in subtropical China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Carbon (C) occluded in phytolith (PhytOC) is a stable form of C; when PhytOC is returned to the soil through litterfall it is stored in the soil which can be an effective way for long-term C sequestration.

Silicon Fertilizer Application Promotes Phytolith Accumulation in Rice Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 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).

Impact of rice cultivar and organ on elemental composition of phytoliths and the release of bio-available silicon [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 The continental bio-cycling of silicon (Si) plays a key role in global Si cycle and as such partly controls global carbon (C) budget through nutrition of marine and terrestrial biota, accumulation of phytolith-occluded organic carbon (PhytOC) and ...

Changes in land use are associated with the accumulation of soil phytolith-occluded organic carbon
Ecological Indicators, 2023 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.

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. 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 ...

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 6, Issue 5, Page 243-252, October 2021., 2021 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 ...

Carbon Management, 2021 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 ...

Comment on "Possible source of ancient carbon in phytolith concentrates from harvested grasses" by G. M. Santos et al. (2012) [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 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,
