The origin and early evolution of plants on land
TL;DR: A recent surge of interest in palaeobotanical discoveries and advances in the systematics of living plants provides a revised perspective on the evolution of early land plants and suggests new directions for future research.

New insights into early land ecosystems: a glimpse of a lilliputian world
TL;DR: The earliest body fossils of unequivocal terrestrial arthropods isolated from the same locality as the Přidoli plants suggest that the decomposer/microherbivore/predator soil and litter communities found in the Lower and Middle Devonian extend back at least into the Silurian.
