Review highlights advancements in silicon cycle research in ecosystems, emphasizing its importance in agriculture.

The aim is to summarize significant developments in the understanding of the silicon cycle at the soil-plant scale since Bartoli's initial findings.
Review of literature on silicon dynamics in ecosystems since the 1980s
Evaluation of the role of phytoliths and human activities in the silicon cycle
Discussion on the development of the plant-available silicon indicator (PAS)
Phytoliths identified as key contributors to the silicon cycle, especially in weathered soils.
Human activities disrupt the silicon cycle, affecting availability and impacts on ecosystems.
The PAS has been established to measure factors influencing dissolved silicon availability.

Jean Dominique Meunier (2026) studied this question.
