Description

Phytolite spectra of plant communities of North Kulunda (phytolith.asu.ru). The database contains an information on the 51st phytolite spectrum of typical plant communities in the North Kulunda of the Altai krai. Each phytolite spectrum is presented in the form of a graphic image, which allows to compare the percentage of phytolite morphotypes in each complex. Also, the database includes a geobotanical information about plant communities, which phytolite spectra were obtained from. Each phytolite spectrum has an accompanying material: photographic images of enriched soil samples from different points of plant communities. The database is intended for experts on phytolithic analysis, paleobotany, paleoecology, soil science and paleo-geology. It can serve as a basis for studying phytolithic paleocomplexes of steppe and forest-steppe zones in the south of Western Siberia.
