Occlusion of organic carbon in phytolith (phytOC) is a mechanism for long-term C sequestration.

class="label">•

PhytOC content and production in the above and belowground parts of steppe plants were determined.

class="label">•

PhytOC concentration was significantly higher in below than above ground plant parts.

class="label">•

PhytOC production was at least one order of magnitude greater from below than above ground parts.

class="label">•

Belowground part plays a dominant role in biogeochemical silica cycle and C sequestration.
