Late Pennsylvanian vegetation dynamics of the Donets Basin, Ukraine by Nataliya Boyarina

“…The Late Pennsylvanian vegetation consisted of plant communities of wetland marattialean fern-dominated forests on coastal lowlands and wetland lycopsid-fern forests on deltaic plains in the Kasimovian as well as wetland marattialean fern-dominated forests with new dominants on coastal lowlands and wetland lycopsid-pteridosperm-calamitalean-fern forests with new dominants on deltaic plains in the early Gzhelian that were formed according to the evolutionary progressive model of phytocoenogenesis under conditions of an expansion of coastal lowlands and deltaic plains inthe long-term period of a relatively stable higher sea level with frequent sea level fluctuations during the late Kasimovian–early-mid-Gzhelian interglacial interval. The subsequent transformation of wetland forests to wetland woodlands on coastal lowlands and deltaic plains according to the substitutionary regressive model of phytocoenogenesis and the formation of the new seasonally dry peltaspermalen pteridosperm-dominated woodland communities in river valleys according to the evolutionary progressive model of phytocoenogenesis took place against the background of a reduction of coastal lowlands and an expansion of river landscapes in the long-term period of a relatively stable sea level drop during the early phase of the late Gzhelian glacial interval. …”
