Uplands, lowlands, and climate: Taphonomic megabiases and the apparent rise of a xeromorphic, drought-tolerant flora during the Pennsylvanian-Permian transition
Abstract The Late Mississippian and Pennsylvanian have been referred to as the Coal Age

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 …
