The Silurian–Devonian terrestrial revolution: Diversity patterns and sampling bias of the vascular plant macrofossil record
During the mid-Palaeozoic, vascular land plants (ie, tracheophytes) underwent a great
radiation that triggered the development of the land biosphere–the so-called Silurian …

Pennsylvanian 'fossil forests' in growth position (T0 assemblages): origin, taphonomic bias and palaeoecological insights
Fossil forests, buried in growth position in a geological instant (T0 assemblages) are far
more abundant in Pennsylvanian successions than in any other part of the geological …

No mass extinction for land plants at the Permian–Triassic transition
H Nowak, E Schneebeli-Hermann… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
The most severe mass extinction among animals took place in the latest Permian (ca. 252
million years ago). Due to scarce and impoverished fossil floras from the earliest Triassic …

Rapid rise in atmospheric CO2 marked the end of the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age
Atmospheric CO2 is thought to play a fundamental role in Earth's climate regulation. Yet, for
much of Earth's geological past, atmospheric CO2 has been poorly constrained, hindering …

Palaeozoic tropical rainforests and their effect on global climates: is the past the key to the present?
CJ Cleal, BA Thomas - Geobiology, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

The environmental implications of upper Paleozoic plant-fossil assemblages with mixtures of wetland and drought-tolerant taxa in tropical Pangea
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 …

Cyclic changes in Pennsylvanian paleoclimate and effects on floristic dynamics in tropical Pangaea
Wetland floras narrowly define perceptions of Pennsylvanian tropical ecosystems, the so-
called Coal Age. Such wetlands reflect humid to perhumid climate, leading to …

Palaeozoic co-evolution of rivers and vegetation: a synthesis of current knowledge
As vegetation evolved during the Palaeozoic Era, terrestrial landscapes were substantially
transformed, especially during the∼ 120 million year interval from the Devonian through the …
