Phytolith Evidence for Vegetation Structure and Agro-Pastoral Resources During the Late Holocene: Insights from Medieval Sites of Northeastern Romania

Quaternary
This study presents new phytolith data that reconstruct the vegetation patterns and environmental context of medieval sites in northeastern Romania, integrated with previously published archaeozoological evidence. Sediment samples from cultural layers at

Nickel Effects on Growth and Phytolith Yield of Grasses in Contaminated Soils

Soil Systems
Nickel (Ni) is extremely toxic to plants at high concentrations. Phytoliths have the potential to sequester the heavy metals absorbed by plants and act as a detoxification mechanism for the plant.

Phytoliths and Taphonomy, the Contribution of Experimentation to the Quantification of Phytoliths in Wood Ashes

Palethnologie, 2010
Ashes, the mineral residues of wood combustion, contain siliceous particles that can be preserved for long periods in archaeological sediments. Phytoliths can thus be useful indicators of combustion activities whose biodegradable or soluble remains have disappeared.In this paper, an experimental evaluation of the potential of phytoliths for the ...

The Biogeochemical Cycle of Silicon and Its Role During the Formation of an Aquaculture Carbon Sink

Progress in Fishery Sciences
In the context of global climate change, one central interest is an improved understanding of the global carbon cycle. A large number of studies have investigated carbon cycling and associated elements, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus.
