The end-Permian mass extinction is the greatest biotic crisis in Earth history causing of a large number marine and terrestrial animals globally. However, how land plants responded to catastrophe remains controversial. successive plant-bearing beds China provide unique window into great vegetation change through critical Permian–Triassic time interval. A notable monospecific comprising new isoetalean, Tomiostrobus sinensis Feng, documented from lowermost part coastal Kayitou Formation...
Studies of Holocene ostracods the Tibetan Plateau have mostly centred around valves and carapaces collected from lake sediments, some at or near substrate surface others short cores. Reports habitats other than lakes are scarce, few living species found in this region appendages described, hindering further taxonomic phylogenetic work. For study collections were made ponds, as well two rivers one lake. Six species, including three previously undescribed, recovered: Tonnacypris estonica...
The relationships amongst modern pollen assemblages, vegetation, climate and human activity are the basis for reconstructing palaeoenvironmental changes using records. It is important to determine these at regional scales due development of vegetation under different climatic conditions activities. In this paper, we report on an analysis assemblages 31 surface lake samples from lakes (one sample per lake) southwestern Tibetan Plateau where knowledge their with activities insufficient. region...
The Permian–Triassic transition is concerned with a critical time interval during the evolutionary history of terrestrial ecosystems. However, ecological underpinnings ecosystems this are poorly understood due to an impoverished fossil record. One more understudied episodes in life state immediately before crisis. We address issue by quantitative study floral assemblage and its herbivorous insect damage based on 1086 plant specimens from uppermost Permian Southwest China. This bulk flora...

Lake level change is an important indicator of changes in the hydrological status lakes triggered by influence atmospheric circulation systems. Previous studies show that interaction Indian monsoon and Westerlies, their on environmental Tibetan Plateau region, remain unclear. Here, we reconstruct Holocene lake history a lake, Taro Co, southwestern Tibet, based relationship between ostracod assemblages water depth from 34 surface sediment samples spanning range 0 to 125 m.

Today, cycads are a small group of gymnospermous plants with limited distribution in the (sub)tropics, but they were major constituents Mesozoic floras. Fossil leaves sporadically found latest Carboniferous and Permian floras have putatively been ascribed to cycads. However, their true affinity remains unclear due lack anatomical evidence. Virtually all modern pinnate leaves, this type leaf morphology is by no means unique for Pinnate Plagiozamites oblongifolius Halle 1927 well-preserved...
A monospecific flora containing a peltasperm species, Germaropteris martinsii, is discovered from the uppermost Permian Kayitou Formation of Southwest China. The epidermal characteristics G. martinsii South China Block are described for first time on basis charcoalified specimens. plant characterised by small, leathery foliage with prominent papillate cells and slightly sunken stomata. stomatal apertures covered long papillae surrounding subsidiary cells. specific traits suggest that highly...
The establishment of protected areas (PAs) is an effective and prevailing tool for conserving wetlands globally, however, strong evidence indicates that not all PAs can deliver adequate conservation to wetland ecosystems due the impacts natural anthropogenic factors. Many studies have used multiple indices assess effectiveness PAs, but those complicated are usually difficult be employed at large-scale. Therefore, this study aims develop a rapid assessment methodology across Chinese mainland....
The Yiyuan hominin fossil site is one of the few localities in China where a partial skullcap and several loose teeth Homo erectus have been discovered. was previously assigned broadly to Middle Pleistocene by biostratigraphical correlation ESR/U-series dating. Here, we report first application radio-isotopic dating method site. 26Al/10Be burial results derived from two sand samples fossiliferous deposits show that fossils can be confidently dated 0.64 ± 0.08 Ma (million years ago)....
