History of Earth flora on data of modern structure: problems of study and prospects
Abstract
In his phylogenetic analysis A. Engler united the efforts and achievements of paleobiologists and monographs-taxonomists of modern taxa, and biogeographists. Moreover, he is in some way trying to discuss the past land changes and periods of orogeny in the world, ie, actually he worked as modern biogeographists. But most important thing was, that the Engler showed this method could be used to study history of the Earth’s flora in general and the flora of individual continents and countries.
For a half of century the florogenetic approach led to the creation of a number of doctrines, which are constantly discussed and developed very similar in the different knowledge schools of the history of floras. Further development of the theory of florogenetics, primarily is due to the understanding of the different importance of the process of real evolution at different levels of organization of living: phylogeny, phylocoenogenesis, florogenesis.
The discussion covers a wide range of problems related to the history of the Earth floras, including the author’s interpretation.
