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

“…The new plant communities of wetland calamitalean-fern-pteridosperm woodlands on coastal lowlands and seasonally dry fern-pteridosperm woodlands on lagoon coasts in the late Gzhelian were formed according to the migration progressive model of phytocoenogenesis due to a migration of plants from reduced river landscapes to coastal lowlands and lagoon coasts in the period of the further sea level drop with low-amplitude sea level oscillations and an increased drying during the continued late Gzhelian glacial interval. …”
