Crops may take benefits from silicon (Si) uptake in soil. Plant available Si (PAS) can be affected by natural weathering processes or by anthropogenic forces such as agriculture. The soil parameters that control the pool of PAS are still poorly documented, particularly in temperate climates. In this study, we documented PAS in France, based on statistical analysis of Si extracted by CaCl<sub>2</sub> (Si<sub>CaCl2</sub>) and topsoil characteristics from an extensive dataset. We showed that cultiv ...[more]
