Rivers that receive significant amounts of their surface water supply from monsoon
precipitation characteristically experience seasonal floods, and display seasonally highly …

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 …

Premise of research. The Late Paleozoic Ice Age was the last extensive pre-Pleistocene ice
age. It includes many climate changes of different intensities, permitting examination of …

This paper reviews global records of anoxic events of the Middle Devonian–earliest
Mississippian, as well as the possible triggers and controls of these events. These “anoxic …

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 …

Abstract The Late Mississippian and Pennsylvanian have been referred to as the Coal Age
due to enormous paleotropical peat accumulations (coal beds). Numerous fossil floras have …

River ecological functioning can be conceptualized according to a four‐dimensional
framework, based on the responses of aquatic and riparian communities to …

In the Carboniferous, terrestrial vegetation became widespread, diverse and abundant. The
resulting fossil record has proved to be an effective biostratigraphic tool for intra-and …

As vegetation evolved during the Palaeozoic Era, terrestrial landscapes were substantially
transformed, especially during the∼ 120 million year interval from the Devonian through the …

The Carboniferous, the time of Earth's penultimate icehouse and widespread coal formation,
was dominated by extinct lineages of early‐diverging vascular plants. Studies of nearest …
