The evolution of African plant diversity
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 Sub-Saharan Africa includes some 45,000 plant species. The spatial patterns of this diversity have been well explored. We can group the species into a set of biogeographical regions (largely co-incident with regions defined for terrestrial vertebrate ...

China's Beech Forests in the Pre-Quaternary [PDF]
Fossil Record, 1998 Fagus in China is never dominant in Late Cretaceous and Tertiary floras although it might reach its highest diversity in the Miocene. The genus Fagus was more widely distributed during the Palaeogene than in the Neogene.

The global loss of floristic uniqueness
Nature Communications, 2021 Humans have altered plant biogeography by introducing species from one region to another, but an analysis of how naturalized plant species affect the uniqueness of regional floras around the world was missing.

The Mastogloia stage in the Baltic Sea history: diatom evidence from southern Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1984 Studies of ancient Baltic sediments obtained from isostatically uplifted lake basins near Helsinki, on the south coast of Finland, have yielded diatom sequences across the transition from Ancylus Lake to Litorina Sea strata.

The composition, geography, biology and assembly of the coastal flora of the Cape Floristic Region [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) is globally recognized as a hotspot of plant diversity and endemism. Much of this diversity stems from radiations associated with infertile acid sands derived from sandstones of the geologically ancient Cape Fold Belt ...

Plant remains from the Polish Triassic. Present knowledge and future prospects
Acta Palaeobotanica, 2014 The Triassic plant macrofossils of Poland are very poorly known. There are few Triassic rock exposures here, they contain very few plant specimens, there is little scientific interest in the subject, and the rare plant remains found in drill cores are of

African Mountain Thistles: Three New Genera in the Carduus-Cirsium Group
Plants, 2023 The floras on the highest mountains in tropical eastern Africa are among the most unique floras in the world. Despite the exceptionally high concentration of endemic species, these floras remain understudied from an evolutionary point of view.
