Molecular stratigraphical, carbonate carbon isotopic, stratigraphical and paleontological data show that algal booming, eutrophication, anoxia, hypersalinity, positive δ13C excursion and biomass decreasing occurred i...
Recent research results showed that the Cathaysia flora originated and developed from the global uniform Lepidodendropsis flora of the Early Carboniferous, which had already become an independent flora in the early La...
Main characteristics of the Permian redbed gymnosperms in North China have been summarized: dominant peltasperms and conifers, numerous enigmatics such as Gigantonoclea and Psygmophyllum, and abundant precursors of Me...
