Opal phytoliths (microscopic silica bodies produced in and between the cells of many plants) are a very resilient, often preserved type plant microfossil. With exponentially growing number phytolith studies, standardization morphotype names description is essential. As first effort standardization, International Code for Phytolith Nomenclature 1.0 was published by ICPN Working Group Annals Botany 2005. A decade use code has prompted need to revise, update, expand improve it.
Silica phytoliths (microscopic remains originating in plant tissues) have been identified on the enamel surface and dental calculus of a sample teeth selected from well preserved skeletons Late Roman necropolis Tarragona (Spain). Phytoliths were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) their siliceous nature was confirmed X-ray microanalysis. The compared to those soil samples both areas tombs corresponding abdomen periphery skeletons, classified taxonomically comparison with large...
Terraces and lynchets are ubiquitous worldwide can provide increasingly important Ecosystem Services (ESs), which may be able to mitigate aspects of climate change. They also a major cause non-linearity between erosion rates in agricultural systems as noted from alluvial colluvial studies. New research the ‘critical zone’ has shown that we must now treat soil production an ecologically sensitive variable with implications for carbon sequestration. In this review synthesis paper present...
