Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Soils and Sediments"
DOI: 10.1007/s11368-018-2160-7
Abstract: PurposePhotolith morphotypes differ between plant species which can be utilized to reconstruct past vegetation. More recently, the role of phytoliths in soil carbon (C) storage and soil C and silicon (Si) cycling has received increasing attention.… read more here.
