Characterisation of Holocene plant macrofossils from North Spanish ombrotrophic mires: vascular plants [PDF]
Methods and criteria that were used to identify plant macrofossils from four ombrotrophic mires in northern Spain are presented. Twelve monocotyledon and ten dicotyledon species were recorded.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Cenozoic plant macrofossil sites ofTasmania [PDF]
Tasmania has an outstanding Cenozoic plant fossil record, including several sites of international significance. This paper provides a compendium of macrofossil sites and associated literature. Macrofossils (leaves, fruit, flowers, wood) are known from 59 sites, ranging from Early Eocene to Late Pleistocene in age. Most are Palaeogene to early Neogene,

Characterisation of Holocene plant macrofossils from North Spanish ombrotrophic mires: bryophytes [PDF]
The methods and criteria used for the identification of bryophytes from the peat deposits of four ombrotrophic mires in northern Spain are presented. Two liverworts and fifteen moss taxa were recorded.

Messinian vegetation and climate of the intermontane Florina–Ptolemais–Servia Basin, NW Greece inferred from palaeobotanical data: how well do plant fossils reflect past environments? [PDF]
The late Miocene is marked by pronounced environmental changes and the appearance of strong temperature and precipitation seasonality. Although environmental heterogeneity is to be expected during this time, it is challenging to reconstruct ...
