Description
The earliest days of land plant evolution have long thought to have occurred in a hot house environment fueled by high CO2 levels. However, recent investigations suggest this may not have been the case and that small plants, not forests, had a massive role to play. Join me and Dr. Tais W Dahl as we travel back over 400 million years to the Devonian Period and discuss how small relatives of lycopods may have altered Earth's atmosphere to such a degree that the Devonian climate may have been more familiar than once hypothesized.
