This project investigates the impact of atmospheric oxygen levels on plant evolution over the past billion years. By analyzing fossil records and conducting experiments in controlled environments, it aims to understand how oxygen fluctuations influenced major reproductive and vegetative innovations in plants.
The evolution of complex organisms over one billion years ago is intimately linked with a rise in atmospheric oxygen levels (O2) over a critical threshold that would support essential metabolic processes.
Over the past 500 million years O2 has varied between lows of 10% to highs of 35%, compared with current ambient levels of ~21%.Critical events in animal evolutionary history have been linked with shifts in atmospheric O2 such as the origination and radiation of mammals and selective extinctio…
