Leaf silica concentration in Serengeti grasses increases with watering but not clipping: insights from a common garden study and literature review
Grasses (Poaceae) lack the complex biochemical pathways and structural defenses employed by other plant families; instead they deposit microscopic silica (SiO(2)) granules in their leaf blades (i.e., phytoliths) as a putative defense strategy. Silica accumulation in grasses has generally been consid...
