CO2 can decrease the dissolution rate of ashed phytoliths

open access: yes, 2021
Phytoliths are silica structures formed in various silicon (Si)-rich plant species. These structures are a fast-reacting source of available Si for soils and crops and act as a platform for the sequestration of organic matter and CO2.

Phytolith data in peat profile over the past 1300 years in the Xishan Mountains, Jiangxi Province, China

open access: yesData 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

open access: yesPlants, 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.

Impact of rice cultivar and organ on elemental composition of phytoliths and the release of bio-available silicon

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Phytoliths in Inflorescence Bracts: Preliminary Results of an Investigation on Common Panicoideae Plants in China

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Phytoliths in particulate matter released by wind erosion on arable land in La Pampa, Argentina

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Silicon (Si) is considered a beneficial element in plant nutrition, but its importance on ecosystems goes far beyond that. Various forms of silicon are found in soils, of which the phytogenic pool plays a decisive role due to its good availability.

Archaeological Prospectivity and Terrace Morphometry Using Open Geospatial Data: A Reproducible GIS–Machine‐Learning Workflow for the Cuyes River Valley, Ecuador

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops and evaluates a reproducible archaeological prospectivity workflow for data‐scarce tropical landscapes by integrating restricted legacy archaeological documentation with openly accessible environmental geospatial datasets.

Spectroscopic Discrimination of Sorghum Silica Phytoliths

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Nano-indentation of native phytoliths and dental tissues: implications for herbivore-plant combat and dental wear proxies [PDF]

open access: yesEvolutionary Systematics, 2018
Tooth wear induced by abrasive particles is a key process affecting dental function and life expectancy in mammals. Abrasive particles may be plant endogenous opal phytoliths, exogene wind-blown quartz dust or rain borne mineral particles ingested by ...
