This title in other formats:Other titles in the Critical Moments and Perspectives in Earth History and Paleobiology series:Plants Invade the Land: Evolutionary and Environmental Perspectives (Critical Moments and Perspectives in Earth History and Paleobiology)by Patricia G. Gensel
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:What do we now 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 paleobotany with physical, chemical, and geological data. Book News Annotation:According to Gensel (biology, U. of North Carolina-Chapel Hill),
"details remain to be worked out" about how terrestrial plants
initiated major global changes in the Earth's infancy. In 13 papers
excavated from the Fifth International Organization of Paleobotany
Conference in 1996, contributors present current fossil record- based
understanding of the evolution of plants and their impact from the
Ordovician to the Upper Devonian (500-360 million years ago). Edwards
(paleobotany, Cardiff U., Wales) offers a summary chart of part of
this time span.
