Phytolith‐occluded carbon sequestration potential in three major steppe types along a precipitation gradient in Northern China

Abstract Phytolith‐occluded carbon (PhytOC) is an important long‐term stable carbon fraction in grassland ecosystems and plays a promising role in global carbon sequestration. Determination of the PhytOC traits of different plants in major grassland types is crucial for precisely assessing their phy...
