How Plants Changed Earth's History
Ғылым және технология
Fundamental science funded by NERC lies behind The Emerald Planet, a popular science book by Professor David Beerling, palaeoclimatologist at the University of Sheffield's Department of Animal and Plant Sciences. Piecing together the evolutionary puzzle of how plants shaped the earth's history and were affected by changes in environment, the book inspired a BBC television programme and a new generation of earth systems scientists.

The virtue of science. An inspiring video, and also a reassuring one that some of us are taking the world forward through the history of this magnificent planet, and our short lived privilege residing here and knowing it.
I remember that in his book ("emerald planet"), Prof. Beering discusses the question of wether those Eocene antarctic trees were decidous or evergreen. I wonder if there's more evidence for either case by now?
