At the 10th IBC in Edinburgh (1964) about 120 palaeobotanists attended a very successful meeting which was my first conference experience as a student in palaeobotany (I must confess that I have no official proof of that because I was in a nearby pub at the time of the official group photograph).
We must continue to make efforts to integrate palaeobotany with other areas of plant sciences as it is done in participating or even organizing symposia during IBC, AIBS and other meetings.
It is clearly our responsibility to fight, everywhere possible, to keep positions in palaeobotany but we must also try to take advantage of the interdisciplinarity of our field; the future of palaeobotany depends, in part, on our ability to adapt and relate our discipline to other areas of plant and earth sciences.

The GCR sites selected for the Palaeozoic Palaeobotany GCR Block represent the British fossil record of vascular land plants during the Palaeozoic Era (which spanned from 540 to 230 million years ago (Ma)).
This, the first 200 million years of land-plant history, was a time of major evolution and diversification of plants, as they adapted to, and radiated into, terrestrial habitats.
The Palaeozoic Era was a time of major evolution and diversification of plants, since most of the major morphological and anatomical strategies that allowed plants to take advantage of the terrestrial habitats appeared at this time as they adapted from aquatic to terrestrial habitats.

The GCR sites selected for the Mesozoic Palaeobotany GCR Block represent the British fossil record of vascular land plants during the Mesozoic Era (which spanned from 230 to 65 million years ago (Ma)).
This was a time of major evolution and diversification of plants following a major mass extinction event that occurred at the end of the Permian Period (=end of Palaeozoic Era).
