This work critically reviews stable isotope fractionation of essential (B, Mg, K, Ca, Fe, Ni, Cu,
Zn, Mo), beneficial (Si), and non-essential (Cd, Tl) metals and metalloids in plants. The …

Laser ablation multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-
MS) has become a powerful technique for the in situ direct determination of isotope ratios in …

Excess and limited trace metal contents in soils and plants can limit crop yields and pose a
risk for the environment and human health. This mini-review reports on the emerging …

Here we present Si and Zr isotopic data of SA01 and SA02 zircons via multi-technique
analytical methods to evaluate the suitability of the two zircon reference materials for in situ …

This review describes the role of silicon (Si) in plants. Methods of silicon determination and
speciation are also reported. The mechanisms of Si uptake by plants, silicon fractions in the …

That silicon is an important element in global biogeochemical cycles is widely recognised.
Recently, its relevance for global crop production has gained increasing attention in light of …

MC-ICP-MS has become one of the most powerful analytical methods for Si isotopes in bulk
liquid and solid samples in the past decade. Laser ablation provides direct sampling of solid …

Role of silicon (Si) in plants under stress as well as non‐stressed conditions has extensively
been studied during the past decade. Silicon plays a beneficial role in plants, and the extent …

Archaeobotany is a well‐established field of archaeology that studies plant remains
recovered from archaeological sites. The vast majority of archaeobotanical studies so far …

This review describes the role of silicon (Si) in plants. Methods of silicon determination and
