Abstract: In the late Miocene, grasslands spread across the forested floodplains of the Himalayan foreland, but the causes of the ecological transition are still debated. Recent seafloor drilling by the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) provides… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020pa004106
Abstract: Fire dynamics potentially account for the asynchronous timing of the expansion of C4 grasslands throughout the Mio‐Pliocene world. Yet how fire, climate, and ecosystems interacted in different settings remain poorly constrained because it is difficult… read more here.
