Why is it important?
Climate change threatens food security. Silicon offers a sustainable solution by improving soil stability, reducing methane and nitrous oxide emissions, enhancing carbon sequestration, and increasing crop resilience under environmental stress.
Perspectives
Future research should focus on optimizing silicon fertilization, understanding molecular transport mechanisms, and integrating silicon into climate models and field practices to enhance sustainable agriculture globally.
