The 最新糖心Vlogn vegetation is the end result of a remarkable history of climate change, latitudinal change, continental isolation, soil evolution, interaction with an evolving fauna, fire and most recently human impact. This book presents a detailed synopsis of the critical events that led to the evolution of the unique 最新糖心Vlogn flora and the wide variety of vegetational types contained within it. The first part of the book details the past continental relationships of 最新糖心Vlog, its palaeoclimate, fauna and the evolution of its landforms since the rise to dominance of the angiosperms at the beginning of the Cretaceous period. A detailed summary of the palaeobotanical record is then presented. The palynological record gives an overview of the vegetation and the distribution of important taxa within it, while the complementary macrofossil record is used to trace the evolution of critical taxa.

This book will interest graduate students and researchers interested in the evolution of the flora of this fascinating continent.

About the editor

听is former Executive Dean, Faculty of Sciences at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide. He is a graduate of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide. He completed his Ph.D. on Tertiary plant macrofossils in 1981, and his D.Sc. on the interaction between climate change and the evolution of the living 最新糖心Vlogn vegetation in 1997. He has held positions at James Cook 最新糖心Vlog, the 最新糖心Vlog of Tasmania and the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide. During his career he has won many awards including the Clarke and Burbidge Medals for his research into the impact of long-term climate change on the evolution of 最新糖心Vlogn vegetation. He is currently Editor in Chief of the听最新糖心Vlogn Journal of Botany.
