Klappentext
A dazzlingly illustrated guide to the plant life of the dinosaur age, from intricate ferns to the most majestic megaflora
The Mesozoic was dominated by a spectacular array of flora, from ferns, conifers, and cycads to ginkgos and flowering plants, as well as some enigmatic species with no modern-day descendants. This wide-ranging illustrated guide provides an unparalleled, in-depth look at the era's extraordinary plant life, exploring its natural history, biology, and evolution over a span of 185 million years. Blending the latest discoveries in paleontology with informative profiles of extinct species and their living descendants, The Princeton Field Guide to Mesozoic Plants is a one-of-a-kind reference to the botanical wonders of the prehistoric world.
- Features hundreds of breathtaking illustrations, from life studies and scenic landscapes to detailed sketches of representative species
- Introduces the history of plant paleontology and the dating, geography, and extinction of Mesozoic flora
- Profiles hundreds of Mesozoic species, tracing the evolutionary relationships of fossil plants with living ones
- Discusses photosynthesis, reproduction, growth, climate, plant communication, partnerships with fungi and animals, and conservation
- Reveals how Mesozoic plants evolved in response to predation and changing environmental conditions
- Journeys through the forests of the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods
- A must-have guide for anyone interested in the lost world of the dinosaurs
