植硅体是一种地球化学稳定性非常高的植源性非晶质二氧化硅颗粒物,在其形成过程中会圈闭一定量的有机碳。目前,植硅体圈闭碳(简称植硅体碳)被认为是一种稳定的碳汇机制,对调节全球气候变化具有重要意义,同时,植硅体碳同位素的研究对于古环境、古气候重建等研究领域具有重要的价值,因此,植硅体圈闭碳的地球化学研究受到许多学者的关注。基于国内外学者对植硅体、植硅体圈闭碳及其相关领域的研究成果,综述了植硅体的形成过程、化学元素组成、地球化学稳定性、植硅体碳汇以及植硅体碳同位素在古环境研究中的应用5个方面的研究进展,同时总结了当前植硅体及其圈闭碳在地球化学过程研究中所面临的主要问题,对于未来继续开展植硅体地球化学研究工作具有重要意义。

Phytoliths, also called amorphous silica particles, have a great geochemical stability and could occlude a certain amount of organic carbon during the forming process. At present, phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC) is recognized as one of long-term stable carbon sequestration mechanisms and has significant influence on regulating global climate change. At the same time, PhytOC isotope research has great value for paleo-environment, paleo-climate reconstruction and other fields. Therefore, more scholars pay attention to the PhytOC geochemical research. Based on the current research status, we summarized the current state of understading about phytolith forming process, elemental composition, geochemical stability, PhytOC sink and PhytOC isotope application for paleo-environment reconstruction. We also summarized the main problems of geochemical research on phytolith and PhytOC, which will make great contribution to further research on phytolith geochemical research.
