Barnyard grasses were processed with rice around 10000 years ago [PDF]

, 2015
Rice (Oryza sativa) is regarded as the only grass that was selected for cultivation and eventual domestication in the Yangtze basin of China. Although both macro-fossils and micro-fossils of rice have been recovered from the Early Neolithic site of ...

Carbon sequestration law by phytoliths in the bamboo forests: Insights for the management of phytolith carbon sink

Global Ecology and Conservation
Phytolith-occluded organic carbon (PhytOC) plays a crucial role as a stable and enduring carbon sink in the intricate web of terrestrial ecosystems. Bamboo forests exhibit the most prominent ability of phytolith carbon sequestration among terrestrial ...

Miocene phytolith and diatom dataset from 10.3Myo diatomite formation, Fernley, Nevada, USA

Data in Brief, 2023
Phytoliths are opal silica particles formed within plant tissues. Diatoms are aquatic, single-celled photosynthetic algae with silica skeletons. Phytolith and diatom morphotypes vary depending on local environmental and climatic conditions and because ...

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part I Reproducibility of diet inference using different instruments

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has become a well‐established method for dietary inference and reconstruction in both extant and extinct mammals and other tetrapods. As the volume of available data continues to grow, researchers could benefit from combining published data from various studies to perform meta‐analyses.

Pre-Columbian land use in the ring-ditch region of the Bolivian Amazon [PDF]

, 2015
The nature and extent of pre-Columbian (pre-1492 AD) human impact in Amazonia is a contentious issue. The Bolivian Amazon has yielded some of the most impressive evidence for large and complex pre-Columbian societies in the Amazon basin, yet there ...

Variation in phytoliths morphology of Erianthus arundinaceus

Journal of Sugarcane Research, 2021
Five improved Erianthus arundinaceus clones were studied for variations in phytoliths present in leaves. Phytoliths were extracted by acid digestion and the morphology was studied by light microscopy.
