Climatic changes in Eastern Asia as indicated by fossil floras. I. Early cretaceous
Abstract The most important data for the reconstruction of Mesozoic cliseres are the life-form statistics, the phytosociological criteria and the dynamic criteria (i.e., the displacements of isoflores, the altitudinal migrations, etc.). The succession of fossil-plant assemblages in South Primorye as well as in the Bureja basin indicates a rise of temperature during the Late Jurassic Epoch up to Berriasian time, the cooling from Valanginian to Barremian and the amelioration of climate in the Aptian followed by the fall of temperatures in Albian time.
