内容説明
What do we know about the origins of plants on land, from an evolutionary and an environmental perspective? The essays in this collection present a synthesis of our present state of knowledge, integrating current information in paleobotony with physical, chemical, and geological data. Stretching from the Ordovician to the Upper Devonian (500-360 million years ago), the book covers the period of major global change as a result of diversification of plants and their impact on the environment. The essays include the interplay of plants and their environments and other coeval organisms (animals, fungi) and suggest further avenues of investigation.
