From the Archives: Botanical perspective on the Quaternary

Abstract

The paper discusses the botanical perspective of the Quaternary research in the light of phenomenal and revolutionary progress ushered in by the oceanic research of deep sea cores and long uninterrupted terrestrial sequences. It is suggested that the botanical parameter should be equipped sufficiently and the dynamic nature of climatic requirements of plant species must be taken into consideration for past inference of environmental syndromes and for its overall applicability so that the consumer disciplines are not misled.
