Phytolith Radiocarbon Dating: A Review of Previous Studies in China and the Current State of the Debate

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Phytolith radiocarbon dating can be traced back to the 1960s. However, its reliability has recently been called into question. Piperno summarized recent dating evidence, but most phytolith dating results from China were not included in the review because

Surface phytolith and pollen assemblages of a low-latitude subtropical region in Southwest China and their implications for vegetation and climate

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Phytoliths, as a newly developing plant proxy, have broad application prospects in paleoclimate and paleoethnobotany. However, the shortage of studies regarding tropical-subtropical plants and topsoil phytoliths interferes with the research progress on ...

Taxonomic Demarcation of Setaria pumila (Poir.) Roem. & Schult., S. verticillata (L.) P. Beauv., and S. viridis (L.) P. Beauv. (Cenchrinae, Paniceae, Panicoideae, Poaceae) From Phytolith Signatures

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Background and Aims: The role and significance of phytoliths in taxonomic diagnosis of grass species has been well documented with a focus on the types found in foliar epidermis and the synflorescence. The present paper is an attempt to broaden the scope

Grains of truth or transparent blindfolds?:A review of current debates in archaeological phytolith analysis [PDF]

, 2013
Phytolith analysis has become an increasingly popular archaeobotanical tool in the past few decades. Phytoliths have been used to support key hypotheses relating to the domestication of several food crops and in the study of ancient diet, and they are of

Assessing phytolith preservation in a Late Quaternary loess-paleosol sequence from the Kashmir Valley, Northwest Himalaya, India

Quaternary Science Advances
Phytolith content and its preservation in soils form a robust tool for paleoecological reconstruction. Post-depositional processes, however, influence the preservation of phytolith assemblages in soils thus making the paleoecological inferences biased ...
