Tallis shows that current alterations in plant habitats have precedents, and an understanding of past changes will aid in managing the world's resources. He gives an overview of global vegetation changes due to environmental shifts during the last 65 million years, covering aspects of plant diversity from the Tertiary through the present in forest, dryland, tropical, and boreal vegetational communities. Illustrated with maps, charts, and diagrams--offering a summary of knowledge gained in the last two decades in palynology, climatology, geophysics, and oceanography. Annotation c.
