Wetland-Dryland Vegetational Dynamics in the Pennsylvanian Ice Age Tropics
TL;DR: Lower-diversity worlds such as the late Paleozoic, with a rich spectrum of environmental variations, offer insights into relationships between organisms and environments that expand understanding of these phenomena and enlarge their sense of what is possible or probable as the authors look to the future.

Pennsylvanian 'fossil forests' in growth position (T0 assemblages): origin, taphonomic bias and palaeoecological insights
TL;DR: Fossil forests, buried in growth position in a geological instant (T 0 assemblages) are far more abundant in Pennsylvanian successions than in any other part of the geological record as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleoecology of Late Paleozoic pteridosperms from tropical Euramerica1
TL;DR: DiMichele et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the Late Paleozoic pteridosperms, a paraphyletic group of seed plants that were prominent elements of tropical ecosystems, primarily those of wetlands or the wetter portions of seasonally dry environments.

TL;DR: In this article, a range of new fluvial planform and architectural styles came to prominence, including channelled-and island-braided systems, meandering and anabranching systems, and stable muddy floodplains.

Landscape gradients and patchiness in riparian vegetation on a Middle Pennsylvanian braided-river plain prone to flood disturbance (Nýřany Member, Central and Western Bohemian Basin, Czech Republic)
TL;DR: The spatial heterogeneity and community ecology of riparian vegetation preserved in fluvial deposits of the upper Asturian to middle (?) Cantabrian (upper Moscovian) Nýřany Member, Central and Western Bohemian Basin, Czech Republic is reconstructed in this article.

The Pennsylvanian tropical biome reconstructed from the Joggins Formation of Nova Scotia, Canada
TL;DR: The Pennsylvanian (Langsettian) Joggins Formation contains a diverse fossil assemblage, first made famous by Lyell and Dawson in the mid-19th century as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Architecture of coastal and alluvial deposits in an extensional basin: the Carboniferous Joggins Formation of eastern Canada
TL;DR: The Joggins Formation was deposited in the Cumberland Basin, which experienced rapid mid-Carboniferous subsidence on bounding faults as discussed by the authors, and the overlying strata contain sand-rich heterolithic packages, 1-8m thick, that are associated with channel bodies 2-3m thick and 10-50m wide.

Upland ecology of some Late Carboniferous cordaitalean trees from Nova Scotia and England
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a set of Dadoxylon-type wood fragments derived from cordaitalean trees from the Upper Carboniferous (Westphalian) of Nova Scotia and England.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pennsylvanian uplands were forested by giant cordaitalean trees
TL;DR: The discovery of a new Pennsylvanian (Bolsovian) plant assemblage in southwest Newfoundland confirms this hypothesis and allows the architecture of these upland trees to be reconstructed in detail.
