To provide a basis for tracing changes in vegetation and tree cover density, we studied the
phytoliths of 129 common temperate plant species, and extracted the phytoliths from 75 …

Background and aims Although phytolith analysis is a promising tool for reconstructing the
palaeovegetation in grassland ecosystems, no phytolith study has yet attempted to …

Modern soil phytoliths can potentially provide analogues for phytolith assemblages from
archaeological and palaeoecological contexts. To assess the reliability of soil phytoliths for …

Phytolith records have provided a new perspective on the reconstruction and interpretation
of palaeovegetation in forested regions. However, the reliability of phytolith records for …

The assessment and calibration of representational bias in modern soil phytolith
assemblages provide the basis for improving interpretation of fossil phytolith assemblages …

Phytoliths can act as efficient carriers of information about palaeovegetation and
palaeoclimatic conditions, but the representativeness of soil phytoliths from …

Background and aims Phytolith analysis is a promising tool for paleovegetation
reconstruction. However, compared with grass phytoliths, there are few studies that have …

With the improvements in our knowledge of the phytolith morphology of different Poaceae
subfamilies and even different species, phytolith records in paleosols provide valuable …

Phytoliths are a useful tool for reconstructing paleovegetation and paleoenvironments and
grass short cell phytoliths (GSCPs), in particular, can provide important paleoenvironmental …

This study investigates the reliability of phytolith assemblage analysis for characterizing
subtropical vegetation and explores the potential for using these modern phytolith …
