This book includes the complete plant fossil record from Iceland spanning the past 15 million years. Eleven sedimentary rock formations containing over 320 plant taxa are described. For each flora, palaeoecology and floristic affinities within the Northern Hemisphere are established. The exceptional fossil record allows a deeper understanding of the role of the “North Atlantic Land Bridge” for intercontinental plant migration and of the Gulf Stream-North Atlantic Current system for regional climatic evolution..’Iceland sits as a “fossil trap” on one of the most interesting biogeographic exchange routes on the planet - the North Atlantic. The fossil floras of Iceland document both local vegetational response to global climate change, and more importantly, help to document the nature of biotic migration across the North Atlantic in the last 15 million years. In this state-of-the-art volume, the authors place sequential floras in their paleogeographic, paleoclimatic and geologi | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | 关键词 | Biogeography; Cainozoic; Iceland; Plant fossils; Vegetation Histor; climate change | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-0372-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-017-7834-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-0372-8Series ISSN 0275-0120 | issn_series | 0275-0120 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011 |
