Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 There has been much interest in the possibility that phytoliths might sequester substantial amounts of carbon and might continue to do so in soils and sediments after the death of the plant. This may contribute to mitigating climate change. However, this

Acta Biologica Sibirica, 2023 Morphometric parameters of phytoliths are effectively applied in identifying fossil remains of cultivated grass species. The research of intraspecific trait variation it phytolith size and shape will expand the possibilities of applying morphometric ...

Translocation of Phytoliths Within Natural Soil Profiles in Northeast China
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Phytoliths are a reliable paleovegetation proxy and have made an important contribution to paleoclimatic studies. However, little is known about the depositional processes affecting soil phytoliths, which limits their use for paleoclimate and ...

Abrasive, silica phytoliths and the evolution of thick molar enamel in primates, with implications for the diet of Paranthropus boisei. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Primates--including fossil species of apes and hominins--show variation in their degree of molar enamel thickness, a trait long thought to reflect a diet of hard or tough foods.

Data in Brief, 2019 Phytoliths are microscopic siliceous particles formed in the plants and preserved in the sediments after the plant death and decay. Phytolith formation is controlled by the plant genes and growing environments.

Phytolith Formation in Plants: From Soil to Cell
Plants, 2019 Silica is deposited extra- and intracellularly in plants in solid form, as phytoliths. Phytoliths have emerged as accepted taxonomic tools and proxies for reconstructing ancient flora, agricultural economies, environment, and climate.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Phytoliths in the inflorescence of Poaceae plants can be of high taxonomic value in some archaeological contexts and provide insight into plant taxonomy and crop domestication processes. In this study, phytoliths in every inflorescence bract of 38 common

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 The continental bio-cycling of silicon (Si) plays a key role in global Si cycle and as such partly controls global carbon (C) budget through nutrition of marine and terrestrial biota, accumulation of phytolith-occluded organic carbon (PhytOC) and ...

Spectroscopic Discrimination of Sorghum Silica Phytoliths
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Grasses accumulate silicon in the form of silicic acid, which is precipitated as amorphous silica in microscopic particles termed phytoliths. These particles comprise a variety of morphologies according to the cell type in which the silica was deposited.
