The fossil history of plant life in Antarctica is central to our
understanding of the evolution of vegetation through geological
time and also plays a key role in reconstructing past
configurations of the continents and associated climatic
conditions. This book provides the only detailed overview of the
development of Antarctic vegetation from the Devonian period to the
present day, presenting Earth scientists with valuable insights
into the break up of the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana.
Details of specific floras and ecosystems are provided within the
context of changing geological, geographical and environmental
conditions, alongside comparisons with contemporaneous and modern
ecosystems. The authors demonstrate how palaeobotany contributes to
our understanding of the paleoenvironmental changes in the southern
hemisphere during this period of Earth history. The book is a
complete and up-to-date reference for researchers and students in
Antarctic paleobotany and terrestrial paleoecology.
