Why do plants silicify?
Despite seminal papers that stress the significance of silicon (Si) in plant biology and
ecology, most studies focus on manipulations of Si supply and mitigation of stresses. The …

AusTraits, a curated plant trait database for the Australian flora
We introduce the AusTraits database-a compilation of values of plant traits for taxa in the
Australian flora (hereafter AusTraits). AusTraits synthesises data on 448 traits across 28,640 …

Strategies to acquire and use phosphorus in phosphorus-impoverished and fire-prone environments
Background Unveiling the diversity of plant strategies to acquire and use phosphorus (P) is
crucial to understand factors promoting their coexistence in hyperdiverse P-impoverished …

Plant herbivore protection by arbuscular mycorrhizas: a role for fungal diversity?
The symbiosis between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, subphylum Glomeromycotina,
and terrestrial plants is one of the most widespread and arguably most successful plant …

High potential of stable carbon sequestration in phytoliths of China's grasslands
Phytolith carbon (C) sequestration plays a key role in mitigating global climate change at a
centennial to millennial time scale. However, previous estimates of phytolith‐occluded …

Silicon dynamics through the lens of soil-plant-animal interactions: perspectives for agricultural practices
F de Tombeur, P Roux, JT Cornelis - Plant and Soil, 2021 - Springer
Abstract Background Silicon (Si) is increasingly recognized as a pivotal beneficial element
for plants in ecology and agricultural sciences, but soil-plant Si cycling has been considered …

Some thoughts on silicon and carbon trade-offs in plants
In 1983, Raven suggested that silica could substitute for lignin or cellulose as a structural
material in plants, and should be favoured because of its lower energetic costs. He then …

Global patterns of leaf construction traits and their covariation along climate and soil environmental gradients
Leaf functional traits and their covariation underlie plant ecological adaptations along
environmental gradients, but there is limited information on the global covariation patterns of …

Sinks for plant surplus carbon explain several ecological phenomena
CE Prescott - Plant and Soil, 2022 - Springer
Plants engage in many processes and relationships that appear to be wasteful of the high-
energy compounds that they produce through carbon fixation and photosynthesis. For …
