Enhancing phytolith carbon sequestration in rice ecosystems through basalt powder amendment

Fengshan Guo,, Zhaoliang Song, Leigh Sullivan, Hailong Wang, Xueyan Liu, Xudong Wang, Zimin Li, Yuying Zhaoa Abstract Global warming as a result of rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 emission is significantly influencing world’s economy and human activities. Carbon sequestration in phytoliths is regarded as a highly stable carbon sink mechanism in terrestrial ecosystems to mitigate climate change. However, the response of plant phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC) to external silicon amendments remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of basalt powder (BP) amendment on phytolith carbon sequestration in rice (Oryza sativa), a ...
