Comparison of two methods for the isolation of phytolith occluded carbon from plant material

JF Parr, LA Sullivan - Plant and soil, 2014 - Springer
Background and aims Phytolith occluded carbon (PhytOC) is of interest for isotope studies,

A rapid cleaning method for diatoms

R Trobajo, DG Mann - Diatom Research, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
We describe here a protocol for cleaning diatoms when time is short and the amount of
sample is very limited. Essentially, the method consists of drying material onto coverslips …
