This book presents a detailed synopsis of the critical events that led to the evolution of the unique Australian flora and the wide variety of vegetational types contained within it. The first part of the book details the past continental relationships of Australia, 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. 546 English. 588 0 Print version record. 590 JSTOR|bBooks at JSTOR Open Access 650 0 Paleobotany|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85097026|zAustralia.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79021326-781 650 0 Plants|xEvolution.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85102855 650 7 Paleobotany.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1051324 650 7 Plants|xEvolution.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1066028 651 7 Australia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204543 653 interaction with an evolving fauna. 653 macrofossil record of australia. 653 australian vegetation. 653 robert hill. 653 evolution of critical taxa. 653 climate change. 653 palaeobotanical record of australia. 653 continental isolation. 653 evolution of australian flora. 653 latitudinal change. 653 palynological record of australia. 653 soil evolution. 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Hill, Robert S.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n93080168|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tHistory of the Australian Vegetation |z9781925261462|w(OCoLC)990162936 856 40 |uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/10.20851/j.ctt1sq5wrv |zOnline eBook.
