🎉 Good news! The paper ‘Phytoliths in dicotyledons occurring in Northwest Europe: establishing a baseline’ by R. Hermans et al. is now #free for a limited time 1/7 👉 doi.org/pdrp @rosaliehermans.bsky.social @christophe-fire.bsky.social @caestromberg.bsky.social @tloeffelmann.bsky.social

Next time you feel the sharp sting of a nettle (Urtica), think of its fascinating stinging microhairs - here around 150–200 µm in length - with irritating chemicals stored in their bulbous heads.
The study study investigates plant silica bodies (phytoliths), including these microhairs and other morphotypes, of extant dicotyledons prevalent in North-Western Europe, establishing a baseline for botanical, archaeobotanical, and palaeoecological research.
