[HTML][HTML] The Eocene–Oligocene transition: a review of marine and terrestrial proxy data, models and model–data comparisons
Abstract The Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) was a climate shift from a largely ice-free
greenhouse world to an icehouse climate, involving the first major glaciation of Antarctica …

Heterogeneity in global vegetation and terrestrial climate change during the late Eocene to early Oligocene transition
Rapid global cooling at the Eocene–Oligocene Transition (EOT),~ 33.9–33.5 Ma, is widely
considered to mark the onset of the modern icehouse world. A large and rapid drop in …

A resurrected scenario: single gain and massive loss of nitrogen-fixing nodulation
Root nodule endosymbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria provides plants with unlimited
access to fixed nitrogen, but at a significant energetic cost. Nodulation is generally …
