Silicon in Agriculture conference poster

Call for Papers: "Special Issue on “Silicon for Sustainable Agriculture and Resilient Ecosystems” in the journal, Plant and Soil, based on the 9th International Conference on #Silicon in Agriculture. Non-attendees can also submit. #plantscience #phytolith 🧪 link.springer.com/journal/1110...

Annotated graphs of in situ vegetation and phytolith assemblages over time illustrate the vegetation history accompanying the growth of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau during the Cenozoic, including detailed analysis of plant assemblages in the Lunpola Basin, central QTP.

New evidence from #phytolith data links the evolutionary history of Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau vegetation to plateau formation and regional #ClimateChange. Explore this study from Zhang et al. right here!👇

Open Phytoliths Open Phytoliths - Building a shared vision for open science adoption and implementation among phytolith researchers globally.

Hey #phytolith folks, We are helping researchers to learn about open science practices and how to embed them into phytolith research.

Check out our multi-lingual website: open-phytoliths.netlify.app

We have lots of resources about open access, data repositories, FAIR data, Github & ontologies.

Yeeks! The proofs of the second #phytolith paper this week have just arrived! I'm not sure I have ever had two sets of proofs in a week before....

Calling all #phytolith researchers - lets get everyone added to this starter pack.

Please add me! I’m a #phytolith researcher in the Great Plains USA. 🌾

I’m growing Oaxacan green dent corn in a plot at the ISU community garden this summer for #phytolith, and #starchgranule reference material. We will be looking at phytolith and starch degradation after grinding, #nixtamalization, and cooking steps. @EESatISU @indianastate

I was making some #phytolith microscope slides at home and ran out of the fingernail polish that I use to seal coverslips. My wife said “I have some, but it’s like 20 years old.” It was my preferred brand for slide making! #Wet_n_Wild

This was my first phytolith and microcharcoal dataset completed for the diss, but the last published because of challenges posed by a discontinuous #phytolith record. However, by combining the #microcharcoal record with @loopdlupien‘s fabulous #dDwax record, it all worked out.

Proud this paper on #maize cob phytolith morphometrics is out, with most of the credit going to my fabulous #phytolith and #archaeobotany specialist coauthors (none of whom are on Twitter). Free download with this link until Feb 12. https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1cIDm_,5MKX9Yux

The #phytolith research community spans many disciplines (geology, biology, ecology, anthropology, etc.). For those interested in phytoliths, please consider joining the International Phytolith Society (IPS). More #IPS info at https://phytoliths.org/

I dedicate this #FossilFriday Cyanotis lanata seed #phytolith observed in Pliocene #paleolake Hadar sediments, to the memory of Barbara Eichhorn (@goetheuni) who recently passed. Her Commelinaceae phytolith research made this ID possible. #inmemoriam #archaeobotany #paleobotany
