A framework linking silicon fertilisation, plant silicification and soil carbon cycling

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 861-870, May 2026.
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for soil health, food security, and climate change mitigation. We reviewed how silicon (Si) fertilisers, commonly used to improve plant health, may also influence SOC dynamics. We developed a framework linking Si and SOC and discussed the possibility of Si‐mediated plant changes contributing to SOC sequestration.

Drivers of insect herbivory resistance and tolerance to plant damage in the Brachypodium distachyon species complex

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Premise Insect herbivory is a major biotic factor shaping plant populations and driving the evolution of defensive traits. Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication) often induces substantial phenotypic and genotypic changes that may affect species interactions, including herbivory.

Woody plant phytolith morphology and representation in surface sediments across the Northern Territory, Australia

Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology
Phytoliths are a good tool for investigating vegetation change in northern Australia. However, there is a lack of phytolith reference material across the Australian continent, particularly for woody plants. The development of reference material from woody plants is critical to understand regional patterns of phytolith production and preservation.
