About this ebook
From ancient algae to complex terrestrial ecosystems, how has plant life evolved over the ages? This book traces the evolution of plant life from the earliest aquatic plants to the diverse flora that inhabits the Earth today. It discusses the transition of plants from water to land, which involved the development of roots, stems, and leaves, along with adaptations such as the seed and the flower. The narrative examines the role of plants in shaping terrestrial environments, their interactions with pollinators and seed dispersers, and their responses to environmental changes through time. By exploring the fossil record and genetic data, the book provides a detailed account of the evolutionary innovations that have enabled plants to colonize virtually all terrestrial habitats, offering insights into the complexity of plant ecosystems and their crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and supporting all life on Earth.
