<meta content="Macro- and micro-fossil plants are described from Early to Middle Pleistocene sediments at Regatta Point, western Tasmania. The sediments are floristically and lithologically distinct from other sediments at the same site, and contain a precursor to modem subalpine vegetation. The sediments contain foliage characteristic of modem western Tasmanian subalpine and alpine rainforest species. Pollen and spores
suggest the presence of open vegetation similar to modem subalpine heath and herbfield. A number of taxa are inconsistent with modern high altitude vegetation, which suggests re-assortment of plant associations during periods of climate change." name="eprints.abstract" />

The sediments are floristically and lithologically distinct from other sediments at the same site, and contain a precursor to modem subalpine vegetation. The sediments contain foliage characteristic of modem western Tasmanian subalpine and alpine rainforest species. Pollen and spores
suggest the presence of open vegetation similar to modem subalpine heath and herbfield. A number of taxa are inconsistent with modern high altitude vegetation, which suggests re-assortment of plant associations during periods of climate change.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" border="0" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">The definitive version is available from http://www.publish.csiro.au/nid/65.htm</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">palaeoclimate, extinction, conifer</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/270705.html">270000 Biological Sciences > 270700 Ecology and Evolution > 270705 Palaeoecology</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/260113.html">260000 Earth Sciences > 260100 Geology > 260113 Palynology</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Collections:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">UNSPECIFIED</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">1731</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">dr gregory j jordan</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">02 Sep 2007</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">12 Feb 2008 12:39</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=1731;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&eprintid=1731">item control page</a></p>
