	Paleobotany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Paleobotany (from the Greek words paleon = old and botanikos = of herbs) is the branch of paleontology dealing with the recovery and identification of plant remains from geological contexts, and their use in the reconstruction of past environments and the history of life.
		Paleobotany includes the study of terrestrial plant fossils as well as the study of marine autotrophs, such as algae.
		Paleobotany is important in the reconstruction of prehistoric ecological systems and climate, known as paleoecology and paleoclimatology respectively, and is fundamental to the study of plant development and evolution.

		Paleobotany has also become important to the field of archaeology, primarily for the use of phytoliths in relative dating and in paleoethnobotany, you doedd you flydndoedd ha ha ha ha aha...
		Paleobotany is the study of fossil plants, including their origin, evolution, and diversification on earth.
		Paleobotany also encompasses study of past climates and communities and provides a means to evaluate the nature, rate, and effect of climate change on plant communities over time scales that are otherwise inaccessible.

	Appendix - BSA Paleobotanical Section
		The unique aspect of paleobotany is that it provides an historical perspective to plant phylogeny, paleoecology, paleoclimatology, and biodiversity studies.
		By its nature, paleobotany is an interdisciplinary field, which draws upon, and contributes to knowledge in evolutionary theory, molecular systematics, morphology, anatomy, development, taxonomy, sedimentology, biostratigraphy, ecology, population biology, biogeography, and climatology.
		Implicit in this research agenda is the assumption that graduate students in paleobotany have a broad training in areas such as phylogenetic theory, molecular systematics, morphology and anatomy, and paleobotany.

		The reconstruction of ancient plants and the environments they shaped remains as much a "forbidding pursuit" as when Joseph Hooker labeled it as such in the mid-19th century.
		Paleobotany continues to provide important data for reconstructing regional and global climates.
		Paleobotany also provided evidence related to controversies over the age of the tropical rainforest, often characterized as geologically young (Neogene or Pleistocene).

		Her national and international peers, however, consider her a giant in the specialized field of paleobotany, the study of ancient plants.
		In 1980 at the age of 62, she joined the Museum staff as a research associate and was responsible for 600 fossil specimens collected during the 1960s construction of I-71, which were set aside by geologists who believed the specimens would reveal information on the extinct plant and marine life in Ohio.

		Paleobotany is one of those "interdisciplinary" fields, which means that (1) it is small and (2) it has close ties to at least two larger disciplines.
		The percentage of publications indexed under Paleobotany or Palynology in BIOSIS appears to have declined over the past three years, from 14.4% to 12.0% (at most, a 17% relative decline; Figure 1, Table 1).
		Paleobotany is also a very small part (1.2%) of the broader field of geology (Table 2).

		In June 2002 the Paleobotany Division completed the monumental task of moving its entire collection of over 150,000 fossil plants into the new state-of-the art facilities of in the Class of 1954 Environmental Science Center.
		Once housed in rows of rusted grayish green cases and overcrowded drawers, these specimens are now in a bright new storage room in mobile open drawer units and on mobile shelving.
		In support of this move, the Division of Paleobotany was awarded a grant of $365,346 from the National Science Foundation (DEB 9987475) to help purchase and install the mobile compact storage system and hire personnel to assist in the move, reorganization and electronic cataloging of the paleobotany collections.
