Article Synopsis
- * A process-based adsorption-diffusion model was developed to explain silicon's impact on reducing heavy metal stress, evaluated through 28 experiments focused on chromium stress in rice.
- * The study found that while silicon initially aids in chromium adsorption, its primary benefit shifts to blocking diffusion of chromium into plant roots as metal concentrations rise, enhancing our understanding of silicon's role in plant health.
Spatial variation in stability of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) straw phytolith-occluded carbon in China.

Global climate warming, driven by human activities emitting greenhouse gases like CO, results in adverse effects, posing significant challenges to human health and food security. In response to this challenge, it is imperative to enhance long-term carbon sequestration, including phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC). Currently, there is a dearth of research on the assessment and distribution of the stability of PhytOC.

Phytolith is a form of SiO in plants. Carbon can be sequestrated as phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC) during the formation of phytoliths. PhytOC is characterized by its high resistance to temperature, oxidation and decomposition under protection of phytoliths and can be stored in the soil for thousands of years.
