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

Potential of global cropland phytolith carbon sink from optimization of cropping system and fertilization. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The occlusion of carbon (C) by phytoliths, the recalcitrant silicified structures deposited within plant tissues, is an important persistent C sink mechanism for croplands and other grass-dominated ecosystems.

Quantifiable differences between phytolith assemblages detected at species level: analysis of the leaves of nine Poa species (Poaceae)

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015
The taxonomic value of phytolith assemblages and their degree of variability within different species of the same genus is still an undervalued issue in the botanical range of phytolith studies.

Understanding fossil phytolith preservation: the role of partial dissolution in paleoecology and archaeology. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Opaline phytoliths are important microfossils used for paleoecological and archaeological reconstructions that are primarily based on relative ratios of specific morphotypes.

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

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 ...

An Assessment of Soil Phytolith Analysis as a Palaeoecological Tool for Identifying Pre-Columbian Land Use in Amazonian Rainforests

Quaternary, 2023
Phytolith analysis is a well-established archaeobotanical tool, having provided important insights into pre-Columbian crop cultivation and domestication across Amazonia through the Holocene.
