Silicon in paddy fields: Benefits for rice production and the potential of rice phytoliths for biogeochemical carbon sequestration

Rising concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases can cause global warming, substantially threatening global environment and food security, as well as the healthy development of human society (Lal, 2004a; Beerling et al., 2018; Jacobson et al., 2019; Iizumi and Sakai, 2020). Reducing CO2 concentration from atmosphere via increasing terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration has been recommended as a critical approach to mitigate the global warming and improving food yields…
