paleoecology

2 articles

Paleoecology is the study of how organisms interacted with each other and their environments across geological timescales, reconstructing ancient ecosystems from fossil and sediment records. For plant science, this field reveals how vegetation communities responded to past climate shifts, extinction events, and environmental pressures, providing critical context for understanding plant evolution and adaptation. These deep-time insights help researchers predict how modern plant species and ecosystems may respond to ongoing environmental change.
