Assessing Open Science Practices in Phytolith Research
Open Quaternary, 2022 Open science is an integral part of all scientific research, but the extent of open science practices in phytolith research is unknown. Phytolith analysis examines silica bodies that are initially formed within and between plant cells during the life of ...

Electron probe microanalysis of the elemental composition of phytoliths from woody bamboo species.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) is promising for accurately determining elemental components in micro-areas of individual phytolith particles, interpreting compositional features and formation mechanisms of phytoliths in plants, identifying ...

Effects of lanthanum and acid rain stress on the bio-sequestration of lanthanum in phytoliths in germinated rice seeds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 REEs in the environment can be absorbed by plants and sequestered by plant phytoliths. Acid rain can directly or indirectly affect plant physiological functions. Currently, the effects of REEs and acid rain on phytolith-REEs complex in plants are not yet

The microstratigraphy of middens: capturing daily routine in rubbish at Neolithic Çatalhöyük, Turkey [PDF]
, 2011 Microstratigraphy — the sequencing of detailed biological signals on site — is an important new approach being developed in the Çatalhöyük project. Here the authors show how microscopic recording of the strata and content of widespread middens on the ...
