Investigating Devonian trees as geo-engineers of past climates: linking palaeosols to palaeobotany and experimental geobiology

We present the rationale for a cross-disciplinary investigation addressing the 'Devonian plant hypothesis' which proposes that the evolutionary appearance of trees with deep, complex rooting systems represents one of the major biotic feedbacks on geochemical carbon cycling during the Phane...
