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

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.
