Phytoliths are essential palaeoecological proxies that play an immensely important role in
palaeoclimatic studies. Their inert composition and general hardiness allow phytoliths to be …

Proxy records from across the Southern Hemisphere show significant local to regional scale
variability in climatic and environmental conditions during late Marine Isotope Stage 3 and …

The temporal vegetation development provides vital information for understanding past
climatic changes. In this study, we reconstruct vegetation dynamics from the last glacial …

Reconstructing changes in altitudinal vegetation belts is crucial for comprehending
vegetation response to past environmental changes in arid alpine regions, however, proxy …

We combine phytoliths, non-pollen palynomorphs, stable carbon isotopes of sediment
organic matter, environmental magnetic parameters and sediment texture data of a …

Grass silica short cell phytoliths (GSSCPs), which are profusely produced within the grasses
are often subfamily-specific and hence may act as one of the reliable plant proxies in …

This study examines the distribution patterns of grass subfamilies and their diagnostic silica
phytoliths along a transect running approximately at latitude 28° S in South Africa. The …

We synthesise records of stable carbon isotopes (δ 13 C values), TOC/TN, magnetic
susceptibility (χlf), palynology, and phytoliths for a late Quaternary lacustrine archive from …

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

There are many stabilized sand dunes along the East and West Liao rivers in the eastern
side of the Horqin Sandy Land, and they pose a threat to the surrounding ecological …
