25 Citations | Collectively, paleomire environments, especially the variation of vegetation types and mire water condition, result in adsorption and desorption divergences among different coal facies. |
29 Citations | Though the specific chemical mechanism resulting in conversion to methane is unclear, the types and abundance of dissolved organic matter found in coal seams are important factors affecting the biogenic CBM production. |
18 Citations | The biological conversion of coal to methane can be conceived as a feasible and environmental friendly approach for improving coalbed methane production. |
| Conclusively, further exploration of biogenic methane production from low rank coals and subsequent extraction of soil conditioning agents from residual coal can be followed as an alternative route of coal conversion technologies for obtaining multiple value-added chemical entities from low rank coal. | |
121 Citations | The experimental results demonstrate the bright future of efficient and clean conversion of coal. |
33 Citations | Knowledge gained from this study would be helpful for various coal conversion processes. |
| The oil-generating potential of each coal or organic-rich sediment will depend upon a combination of depositional environment and the floristic and chemical composition of the source vegetation and its component plants and plant parts. | |
| The study results proved the significant impact of vegetation on the transformation of falling solarenergy and the formation of microclimate, and thus the importance of fast regeneration of functional vegetation cover in the surfaces newly forming in former brown coal mines. | |
24 Citations | The environmental impact of coal strip-mining is evident in the soil microfloral diversity and activity, and may influence decomposition potential, cycling of trace elements and soil development, long after successful establishment of vegetation. |
| The vitrinite content of the coal increases up-section at the expense of semifusinite, possibly reflecting an increase in the proportion of arborescent vegetation in the mire with time and a lower susceptibility to fires. | |
18 Citations | The influence of depth of burial on coal vegetation is discussed; loss of volatile matter is probably promoted by temperatures, but is almost certainly retarded by high pressures. |
| Applications of forest litter and supplemental irrigation may ensure successful establishment of vegetation on areas disturbed by open-pit coal mining. | |
| Coal petrography suggests that peat-forming vegetation and water tables in palaeomires were changeable during the Late Carboniferous. | |
| All the same, after the start of coal production, vegetation growth has gradually improved, probably due to large scale aerial seeding. | |
| In similar fashion, the re-establishment of vegetation may be recorded in nature of the contact and composition of the coal immediately above a tonstein. | |
| This shows that the prevailing use of coal petrography to discern the type of vegetation that was present in the peat-forming mires may lead to wrong conclusions. |

How do plants fossilize?2 answersPlants fossilize through various processes. Plant remains, such as compressions, impressions, pollen, macrofossils, and phytoliths, can be preserved in the fossil record. The preservation of plant germplasm is crucial for the conservation of plant genetic materials. While seeds are the most efficient means of preservation, other techniques like slow growth, freezing, vitrification, and encapsulation/dehydration have been explored for endangered species and genetically engineered materials. Studying fossil plants involves understanding different types of preservation and locating specimens for study. A.C. Seward's volumes on palaeobotany provide a comprehensive overview of the subject, including systematic descriptions of fossil plants.
