  • The Silurian–Devonian terrestrial revolution: Diversity patterns and sampling bias of the vascular plant macrofossil record

    Citation Excerpt :

    Plants colonized the land through a series of distinct phases representing changes in composition and type of vegetation, and an increase in complexity of subaerial ecosystems (see Gerrienne et al., 2016 for details; Fig. 1). The Silurian–Devonian plant macrofossil record provides a major resource for assessing the relationship between this process (see Meyer-Berthaud et al., 2016a, 2016b, and references therein), and how it both helped cause and was affected by major environmental changes. For instance, Silurian vegetation consisted of small, simple plants (e.g., Raymond et al., 2006; Wellman et al., 2013; Libertín et al., 2018; Gensel et al., 2020; Gensel, 2021), which were replaced in the Devonian by floras characterized by an "explosion" in morphological disparity (Fig. 1).
