The Palaeozoic era was a time of major evolution and diversification of plants, as they adapted from aquatic to terrestrial habitats. This book covers the first 200 million years of the history of land evolution, showing how the main facets of vegetative evolution can be demonstrated at sites in Britain, and how the fossil record can be of value as an evolutionary and environmental indicator of the geological past, in general, as well as in Britain. In part a conservation tool, this volume also provides the most comprehensive bibliography of the subject yet published, providing an extensive review of research that has been carried out in the last two centuries.
