The opal phytolith inventory of soils in central Africa —quantities, shapes, classification, and spectra
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary phytolith classification scheme was used in soil phytochemical counting procedures to produce typical opal phytophytolith spectra for comparison. But the method was not suitable to describe and characterize rain forest and grassland vegetation.

Environmental and Evolutionary Preconditionsfor the Origin and Diversification of the C4 PhotosyntheticSyndrome
TL;DR: The origin of C4 plants is hypothesized to have resulted from a novel combination of environmental and phylogenetic developments that, for the first time, established the preconditions required for C4 plant evolution.

Aluminum Hyperaccumulation in Angiosperms: A Review of Its Phylogenetic Significance
TL;DR: The preliminary conclusions support the primitive status of aluminum hyperaccumulation, which provides an evolutionary model system for the integration of different biological disciplines, such as systematics, ecology, biogeography, physiology, and biochemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dark and disturbed: a new image of early angiosperm ecology
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that the earliest angiosperms were woody plants that grew in dimly lit, disturbed forest understory habitats and/or shady streamside settings, which may have restricted the diversity of pre-Aptian angiosPerms and living basal lineages.

TL;DR: The plastid trees support the monophyly of the Rhamnaceae family and provide the basis for a new tribal classification, and three strongly supported clades are identified but morphological characters could not be found to underpin a formal taxonomic description of these three clades as subfamilies.
