However, to make accurate interpretations and analyses using plant phytoliths, regionally-specific reference collections are warranted. There is ample research documenting phytolith morphotypes observed in grass species worldwide (due to their high phytolith production), and of dicots in tropical regions, but there is dearth of phytolith references for dicot species in temperate regions like the Pacific Northwest of North America. This study aims to fill part of this gap by documenting phytolith morphotypes observed in 60 culturally important plant foods, medicines, and textiles, all predominantly dicot species. Phytoliths are classified by abundance in specific plant parts (e.g., stem, leaf, flower) and the findings are compared to closely related species studied elsewhere. Results indicate that many of the dicot plant species in the Pacific Northwest produce more phytoliths than closely related species worldwide, likely due to differing environmental factors which affect phytolith production in plants. These findings could be useful in palaeoecological contexts to assess vegetation changes or identify dicot-dominated ecosystems, like Indigenous cultivated and managed forests and other perennial fruit tree/shrub dominated landscapes. Additionally, three of the species studied here showed possible diagnostic phytoliths but further confirmation is warranted. Future studies should consider localized environmental patterns affecting phytolith production, and therefore, our understanding of phytolith taxonomy and deposition/taphonomy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54488,"journal":{"name":"Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology","volume":"332 ","pages":"Article 105220"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142537203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hypothetically these factors contributed to increasing climatic instability culminating in the End Devonian Mass Extinction Event. Understanding the timing of the spread of forests is however a prerequisite to correlation with its proposed consequences. Though evidence for forests at low palaeolatitudes demonstrates their emergence by the mid Devonian, sparse high-palaeolatitude records almost entirely comprise herbaceous lycopods. By the Famennian forest ecosystems are widely evidenced at low palaeolatitudes, however high latitude palaeofloras are almost exclusively represented by a single locality, the Waterloo Farm lagerstätte from South Africa (approximate palaeolatitude, 70°S). Understanding climatic and ecological conditions at this locality is doubly important as it also hosts diverse vertebrate taxa, including the only high latitude Devonian tetrapods. <em>Archaeopteris</em>, the quintessential Late Devonian woody tree, has previously been identified at this locality on the basis of leafy branch system fragments, though some uncertainty has remained as to whether these represent tree sized organisms. Here we present co-occurring large axes, including a trunk base, attributable to <em>Archaeopteris</em> trees inferred to be in excess of 20 m height, the first demonstration of forest stature at high latitudes in the Devonian. This possibly reflects high latitude climatic amelioration, resultant from warm ocean currents circulating southwards in response to progressive closure of the Iapetus Sea. As such, changing continental configurations may have indirectly facilitated the spread of forest ecosystems and helped to drive climatic instability and ultimately extinctions towards the end of the Devonian.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54488,"journal":{"name":"Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology","volume":"331 ","pages":"Article 105212"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142434183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings reveal significant shifts in vegetation that correspond to climatic events.

The onset of the Holocene witnessed the expansion of conifer and broad-leaved deciduous forests in hilly areas and the retreat of grassland in the plain. The sedimentary sequence shows transitions from fluvial-lacustrine deposits to loess-like and black soil deposits, showing significant environmental changes.
