Does anyone know of any scientific studies into the burning of ferns
whereupon substances similar to silver nitrate are released into the
atmosphere to seed clouds and hence bring rain.

I am doing some research on silicon concentrations in plants, and
would be grateful if anyone out there knew of useful references, data
etc. So far I have only found data from Japan- surely there must be
more!
Best Wishes,
