摘要：
The knowledge how land plants originated and diversified during the Paleozoic (the plant terrestrialization for short) and how they induced impacts on Earth’s surface environments is of great significance for a better understanding of the evolution of Earth System. Devonian is a key interval of vascular plant radiation, when extant clades such as lycopsids, ferns, sphenopsids, and seed plants originated, innovative organ systems such as roots, leaves, wood, and seeds evolved, and forests became an important component of terrestrial landscape. Recent advances concerning interactions between early plants and Earth’s environments include: how Paleozoic vegetation forced the evolution of fluvial landscapes; how early land plants enhanced chemical weathering; and how terrestrial organic carbon buried during the Paleozoic; etc. Future studies aim to, on one side, reveal more details about the process and mechanisms of plant terrestrialization, based on evidence varying from genes to terrestrial ecosystems, and on the other side, learn more about the effects of Earth’s environments by such a transformative event at multiple spatial scales, such as microscopic-, habitat-, regional-, and global scales. © 2022 China University of Geosciences.
