Assessing production of phytolith and phytolith occluded carbon in above-ground biomass of intensively cultivated rice ecosystems in India

Carbon (C) occluded in phytoliths is stable and an important source of long-term C storage into the agroecosystems. As a silicon (Si) accumulator crop, rice produces a large amount of phytolith occluded carbon (PhytOC) and which plays a crucial role in the coupled biogeochemical cycle of C and Si. I...
