The global vegetation pattern across the Cretaceous–Paleogene mass extinction interval: A template for other extinction events
Abstract Changes in pollen and spore assemblages across the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary elucidate the vegetation response to a global environmental crisis triggered by an asteroid impact in Mexico 66Ma. The Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary...
