Raný vývoj suchozemských rostlin v období siluru se speciálním zřetelem na pražskou pánev (Barrandien, Česká republika)

Uhlířová, Monika

This dissertation focuses on the study of fossil evidence of terrestrial plants from the Silurian period, found in the sediments of the Prague Basin - a site of global significance for documenting the evolution of early flora. The work begins with an introductory section that provides an overview of the topic and summarizes the findings of four peer-reviewed publications. The origin of land plants was a major event that shaped the global ecosystem and enabled the development of life on land. The transition of plants to terrestrial environment occurred no later than the Ordovician period, when their algal ancestors developed essential adaptations that allowed them to successfully colonize land. The various stages of this terrestrialization process and the evolution of early land flora can be reconstructed based on the preserved record of micro- and macrofossils. Silurian macrofossils offer valuable insight into the appearance of these plants, with the oldest known specimens being found in Prague Basin, considered as palaeontologically significant locality. The objective of this dissertation is to map the early evidence of land plant evolution in relation to the study of plant macrofossils from the Silurian deposits of the Prague Basin. Three of the published studies (Appendices 2-4) focus on the...
