One of the most significant climate changes in the history of Earth happened during the late
Palaeozoic, with the melting of the Gondwanan ice sheets and a progressive warming that …

This paper reviews critically the Permian–Triassic (P–Tr) fossil plants and microflora
recorded in three well-studied terrestrial Permian–Triassic boundary (PTB) sections, namely …

Although Siberian Trap volcanism is considered a primary driver of the largest extinction in
Earth history, the end-Permian crisis, the relationship between these events remains …

The end-Triassic mass extinction (ETE;~ 201.6 million years ago) led to dramatic changes in
terrestrial ecosystems including the extinction of several seed-plant groups. Among the most …

In this essay we examine the fossil record of land plants, focusing on the late Paleozoic. We
explore the nature of this record in terms of what is preserved, where, why and with what …

Well-preserved marine fossils in carbonate rocks permit detailed studies of the end-Permian
extinction event in the marine realm. However, the rarity of fossils in terrestrial depositional …

Premise of research. Two previous studies examined the extent of insect herbivory in Early
Permian habitats of north-central Texas, with varying results indicating minimal to modest …

By colonizing drylands, plants fundamentally changed continental deposition and, thus,
intensified the interaction between life and sediments. Fossil large woody debris in epiclastic …

Although Permian fossils have been known from the Parnaíba Basin for two centuries, and
some faunal and flora elements are well known worldwide, research on the fossil …
