Wildfires during the Paleogene (late Eocene-late Oligocene) of the Neuwied Basin (W-Germany)

Dieter Uhl et al.

Summary: Macro-charcoal from late Eocene-late Oligocene deposits in the Neuwied Basin, Germany, provide evidence for paleo-wildfires occurring in three different time slices. The charcoal fragments have been compared to extinct conifer species and taxodioid Cupressaceae, indicating possible vegetation sources. This study confirms the presence of wildfires as a disturbance source in terrestrial ecosystems during the late Eocene to late Oligocene periods.

Palaeobotanical experiences of plant diversity in deep time. 1: How well can we identify past plant diversity in the fossil record?

Christopher Cleal et al.

Summary: Palaeobotany and palynology are key sources for studying vegetation diversity dynamics over geological time, but factors other than vegetation diversity can affect plant fossil diversity. Local-scale vegetation diversity is challenging to determine from the fossil record, while landscape-scale and regional-scale vegetation diversities are more reliably determined usually at the family level.
