Controls on phytolith stability upon exposure in paddy soils

Geoderma
Phytoliths are an important component in the cycling of silicon (Si) in rice cultivation, yet little is known about their medium to long-term stability.

Comparison of Phytolith Characteristics of Three Bamboo Species’ Cotyledon Organs

Plants
Phytoliths are widely used in plant taxonomy, paleoecology, soil silicon cycling, and agricultural archaeology. Bamboo has a strong capacity for silicon absorption, and there are some phytoliths in various organs.

Phytolith Evidence for Vegetation Structure and Agro-Pastoral Resources During the Late Holocene: Insights from Medieval Sites of Northeastern Romania

Quaternary
This study presents new phytolith data that reconstruct the vegetation patterns and environmental context of medieval sites in northeastern Romania, integrated with previously published archaeozoological evidence. Sediment samples from cultural layers at

Phytolith Characteristics in Leaves and Culm Sheaths of Three Sympodial Bamboo Genera (Bambusoideae) in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, China

Agronomy
This study focused on the phytolith characteristics of leaves and culm sheaths from nine bamboo species across three genera (Bambusa Schreb., Gigantochloa Nees, and Dendrocalamus Kurz ex Munro) in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden. By analyzing

Phytoliths and Taphonomy, the Contribution of Experimentation to the Quantification of Phytoliths in Wood Ashes

Palethnologie, 2010
Ashes, the mineral residues of wood combustion, contain siliceous particles that can be preserved for long periods in archaeological sediments. Phytoliths can thus be useful indicators of combustion activities whose biodegradable or soluble remains have disappeared.In this paper, an experimental evaluation of the potential of phytoliths for the ...

Nickel Effects on Growth and Phytolith Yield of Grasses in Contaminated Soils

Soil Systems
Nickel (Ni) is extremely toxic to plants at high concentrations. Phytoliths have the potential to sequester the heavy metals absorbed by plants and act as a detoxification mechanism for the plant.

A Universal Phytolith Key

2001
To enable a wider dissemination of phytolith data and to increase the potential of phytolith analysis the need for a comprehensive phytolith classification system which can be used by researchers from a wide range of disciplines is critical and long overdue. A series of papers will describe and illustrate a key based on eight basic disarticulated shape
