Low abundances of phytoliths from grasses and herbs (< 4%) reflect closed canopy forested settings.
“This and other Neotropical studies show that high abundances of arboreal phytoliths (> 60%) and low abundances of phytoliths from grasses and herbs (< 4%) reflect closed canopy forested settings (Dickau et al. 2013; Heijink et al. 2020; Watling et al. 2020; Piperno et al. 2021).”

Phytolith assemblages vary among major forest types in Neotropical humid and dry forests and savannas.
“Phytolith assemblages are known to vary among major forest types in Neotropical humid and dry forests and savannas (Dickau et al. 2013; Testé et al. 2020; Watling et al. 2020; Crifò and Strömberg 2021).”

Baseline data of the variance in phytolith representation across gradients of disturbance have not been fully documented in Amazonia.

Ordination did not separate palm forests (mostly Attalea sp.) from other forests in Brazil.
“Previous studies have shown that Euterpe can dominate the phytolith assemblage in flooded forests (Dickau et al. 2013), but ordination did not separate palm forests (mostly Attalea sp.) from other forests in Brazil (Watling et al. 2020).”

The phytolith assemblage corresponds well to the local vegetation of phytolith-producing taxa.
“Phytoliths of modern reference material were almost all found in soil surface samples, showing that the phytolith assemblage corresponds well to the local vegetation of phytolith-producing taxa (Dickau et al. 2013; Watling et al. 2020).”

Palm phytoliths could be false positives because palm phytoliths have been reported to occur in soils without local palms present.
“These phytoliths could also be false positives, as palm phytoliths have been reported to occur in soils without local palms present (Watling et al. 2020), and surface samples can often retain the last several hundred years of history (Piperno 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
