Plant growth conditions alter phytolith carbon

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Many plants, including grasses and some important human food sources, accumulate and precipitate silica in their cells to form opaline phytoliths. These phytoliths contain small amounts of organic matter (OM) that are trapped during the process of ...

Feeding in Forest Chimpanzees: Do Food Type and Canopy Location Predict Positional Behavior?

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 2, February 2026.
Ngogo chimpanzees from Kibale National Park, Uganda use versatile postures, like suspension, more when eating leaves than other foods. However, in the terminal canopy, eating fruit is most associated with versatility. Food type and availability, in different combinations, produce similar behaviors.

Phytolith-Occluded Carbon Storages in Forest Litter Layers in Southern China: Implications for Evaluation of Long-Term Forest Carbon Budget

Frontiers in Plant Science, 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.
