Abstract. The global climate system experienced a series of drastic changes during the Cenozoic. In Asia, these include transformation from zonal pattern to monsoon-dominated pattern, disappearance typical subtropical aridity, and onset inland deserts. Despite major advances in last two decades characterizing understanding phenomena, disagreements persist relative timing, behaviors underlying causes. This paper addresses issues mainly based on lines evidence. First, we compiled newly...
Fossil leaves assigned to the genus Ginkgo are increasingly being used reconstruct Mesozoic and Tertiary environments based on their stomatal carbon isotopic characteristics. We sought provide a more secure basis for understanding variations seen in plant fossil record by determining natural variability of these properties sun shade leaf morphotypes biloba trees under present atmospheric CO 2 concentration range contemporary climates three Chinese locations (Lanzhou, Beijing, Nanjing)....
Angiosperms are a group of plants with the highest rate evolution, largest number species, widest distribution and strongest adaptability. Needless to say, angiosperms most important for humans. The studies on origin, evolution systematics have been major challenges in plant sciences. However, origin early history remains poorly understood controversial among paleobotanists. Some paleobotanists insist that there were no pre-Cretaceous age. this conclusion is facing increasing from fossil...
Abstract: A better theoretical and practical understanding of the linkage between paleo‐CO 2 climate during geological history is important to enhance sustainable development modern human society. Development in plant physiology since 1980s has led realization that fossil plants can serve as a proxy for paleoatmosphere paleobiosphere. As relict gymnosperm with evolutionary stasis, Ginkgo well suited paleoenvironmental reconstruction. This paper analyzes species from integrated strata north...
Based on leaf physiognomy of the Late Pliocene Tuantian megaflora from Mangbang Formation Tengchong County in western Yunnan, a quantitative reconstruction palaeoclimate was performed with Leaf Margin Analysis (LMA) methodology and Climate-Leaf Multivariate Program (CLAMP). The latter produced following parameters: mean annual temperature (MAT) 17.2 to 17.7°C; warmest month (WMMT) 25 25.5°C; coldest (CMMT) 9.5 10.8°C; length growing season (GRS) 9.7 months; precipitation (GSP) 1834.3 1901.2...
The fossil record of Lauraceae can be traced back to the Early Cretaceous eastern Asia based on flowers. Here, we refer a number new occurrences leaf and fruit fossils from Middle Miocene Zhangpu, Fujian, China, seven species. These data provide evidence supporting fact that diverse subtropical, or tropical, Lauraceae-dominated evergreen forest surrounded this region 15 million years ago (Mya). presented in paper for evolution group as well materials enable study Fujian Province Neogene...
Premise of research. The origin and phytogeographic history Citrus (Rutaceae) is poorly known, partly because the very limited fossil record this genus. Our newly discovered materials confirm existence in late Miocene Asia.Methodology. Fossil leaves were collected from field, carefully exposed laboratory, investigated through comparison architectural characters with extant leaves.Pivotal results. A new species, linczangensis sp. n., Lincang, Yunnan, China, characterized by unifoliolate...
A new species of Meliolinites (fossil Meliolaceae), M. buxi sp. nov., is reported from the Oligocene Ningming Formation Guangxi, South China. The fungus has hyphopodia characteristics extant Meliolaceae, such as thick-walled, branching hyphae with appressoria and phialides. However, these fossils entirely lack mycelial or perithecial setae have only a few phialides, thereby distinguishing most known species. was discovered on adaxial abaxial cuticles several fossilized Buxus leaves....
A fossil eudicot, Gansufructus saligna gen. et sp. nov., is reported from the Early Cretaceous (late Aptian-early Albian) of Gansu Province, Northwest China, based on numerous well-preserved axes with attached leaves and infructescences. The are alternate, short petiolate linear-lanceolate low rank pinnate to reticulate venation. infructescences loose panicles bearing fruits in different stages maturity, each containing four partly free carpels borne a whorled arrangement. Each carpel has...
