One of the most significant climate changes in the history of Earth happened during the late
Palaeozoic, with the melting of the Gondwanan ice sheets and a progressive warming that …

Phytogeographic reconstructions have been published for most Paleozoic series since the
Přídolí, but there have been few attempts to synthesize this data into a comprehensive …

Wetland forests, known as coal forests, extended over large areas of the palaeotropics
during the Late Carboniferous and the Permian Periods. They were initiated during the …

We evaluate the influences of elevation and climate on the spatio-temporal distribution of
wetland and dryland biomes during the Pennsylvanian and early Permian in tropical …

Premise of the Study Equisetum is the sole living representative of Sphenopsida, a clade
with impressive species richness, a long fossil history dating back to the Devonian, and …

The Paleophytic, Mesophytic and Cenophytic were originally conceptualized as
chronostratigraphic intervals (not specific floras) and were used principally in that way for …

Since their first appearance in the Middle-Late Silurian, land plants have played an
increasingly important role in shaping terrestrial ecosystems and landscapes. It is difficult to …

Terrestrialization probably began more than one billion years ago and irreversibly altered
biogeochemical processes at planetary scale. In this paper, we focus on the terrestrialization …

Determining the diversity of past floras helps with interpreting both the history and predicting
the future of vegetation change. For global-scale and regional-scale diversity studies …

The paleoecology of plants as a modern discipline, distinct from traditional floristics or
biostratigraphy, has undergone an enormous expansion in the past 20 years. In addition to …
