Phytoliths from Woody Plants: A Review
Diversity, 2022 Phytoliths are efficient proxies in archaeology, plant taxonomy, palaeoenvironment, and palaeoecology reconstruction, the research of which has been developing rapidly in recent years. Phytolith morphology is the basis of phytolith research.

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.

Phytoliths from some grasses (Poaceae) in arid lands of Xinjiang, China [PDF]
Acta Biologica Sibirica, 2021 Opal phytoliths, as silicon dioxide inclusions, are abundant in different parts of a plant. It is known that grasses are the most representative in this respect.

Silicified bulliform cells of Poaceae: morphological characteristics that distinguish subfamilies
Botanical Studies, 2020 Background Grass phytoliths are the most common phytoliths in sediments; recognizing grass phytolith types is important when using phytoliths as a tool to reconstruct paleoenvironments.

Electron probe microanalysis of the elemental composition of phytoliths from woody bamboo species.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) is promising for accurately determining elemental components in micro-areas of individual phytolith particles, interpreting compositional features and formation mechanisms of phytoliths in plants, identifying ...

Irrigation and phytolith formation:an experimental study [PDF]
, 2011 It has been proposed that phytoliths from archaeological sites can be indicators of water availability and hence inform about past agricultural practices (Rosen and Weiner, 1994; Madella et al., 2009). Rosen and Weiner (1994) found that the number of
