In present-day alluvial environments, the impact of vegetation on sedimentological
processes and deposits is well known. A vegetated catchment may decrease sediment yield …

The rock record contains a rich variety of sedimentary surface textures on siliciclastic
sandstone, siltstone and mudstone bedding planes. In recent years, an increasing number …

Ichnology is the study of traces created in the substrate by living organisms. This is the first
book to systematically cover basic concepts and applications in both paleobiology and …

The evolution of trees and forests through the Devonian Period fundamentally changed the
Earth's land biosphere, as well as impacting physical environments and geomorphology by …

The invasion of the land was a complex, protracted process, punctuated by mass extinctions,
that involved multiple routes from marine environments. We integrate paleobiology …

A long-standing hypothesis links the increased prominence of meandering rivers in the
middle Paleozoic to the colonization of terrestrial environments by vegetation. This …

The colonization of land was one of the major events in Earth history, leading to the
expansion of life and laying the foundations for the modern biosphere. We examined trace …

Evidence from modern rivers and the deep-time geological record attests to the fundamental
importance of plant life for the construction of physical habitats within fluvial environments …

The Palaeozoic greening of the continents–the appearance and expansion of embryophytes
(land plants) in terrestrial environments–was arguably the most fundamental Phanerozoic …

The Early Permian Robledo Mountains Formation of the Robledo Mountains in Dona Ana
County, southern New Mexico, contains a diverse and abundant nonmarine trace fossil …
