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

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

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

Understanding local-scale paleoecological processes and their driving mechanisms is a
major challenge in plant community ecology. However, phytolith records have the potential …

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 …

Abstract The Holocene variability of Poaceae (grasses) and their response to climate
changes has not yet been investigated, despite their prevalence and biodiversity in the …

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

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

Accurate estimates of changes in the composition and diversity of grassland ecosystems,
and an understanding of the mechanisms responsible, are essential for predicting future …

Although phytoliths are recognized as an important proxy for paleoenvironmental
reconstruction, the quantitative relationship between phytoliths and climate is still debated …
