Opal phytolith and isotopic studies of "Restinga" communities of Maricá, Brazil, as a modern reference for paleobiogeoclimatic reconstruction

Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2015
The Maricá restinga, located in the eastern part of the Rio de Janeiro State (Brazil), corresponds to one of the few remaining preserved areas of the state's coastal plain.

Soil microaggregates store phytoliths in a sandy loam

, 2019
Phytoliths are finesilt-ized amorphous silicap articlesthat for min living plant tissues. Oncedeposited in soils through plant debris, they may dissolve and increase the fluxes of silicon (Si) towards the biosphere and hydrosphere, thus enhancing ...

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.

Epidermal Patterning and Silica Phytoliths in Grasses: An Evolutionary History

, 2016
Due to the immense ecological and economic significance of grasses, their highly characteristic long-short epidermal patterning and associated silica phytoliths represent significant diagnostic markers in studies of ancient climate change and agriculture.

Surface properties, solubility and dissolution kinetics of bamboo phytoliths

, 2006
International audienceAlthough phytoliths, constituted mainly by micrometric opal, exhibit an important control on silicon cycle in superficial continental environments, their thermodynamic properties and reactivity in aqueous solution are still poorly ...

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 ...

Separation of sedimentary phytoliths from other biogenic silica particles for triple oxygen isotope analysis

MethodsX
Phytoliths are amorphous silica particles that precipitate within and between plant cells, and their fossilized morphological assemblages are widely used to reconstruct paleo-vegetation.

Two methods, two views: Integrating phytoliths in thin sections and bulk samples on the urban Dark Earths from the DIVA-site (Antwerp, Belgium).

PLoS ONE
Traditionally, phytolith analyses are carried out by extraction from bulk (sediment) samples. This technique provides valuable information, not only on the morphological and/or taxonomic assignment of phytoliths, but also on their concentration ...
