According to Gensel (biology, U. of North Carolina-Chapel Hill), "details remain to be worked out" about how terrestrial plants initiated major global changes in the Earth's infancy. In 13 papers excavated from the Fifth International Organization of Paleobotany Conference in 1996, contributors present current fossil record- based understanding of the evolution of plants and their impact from the Ordovician to the Upper Devonian (500-360 million years ago). Edwards (paleobotany, Cardiff U., Wales) offers a summary chart of part of this time span. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
