Paleobotanists use these fossils to help build a picture of prehistoric environments, the feeding resources of extinct animals and the evolutionary pasts of modern plants. Botany thus covers a huge range of plant species, from agricultural crops to delicate flowers to microscopic algae, Paleobotany involves the scientific recovery and study of plant fossil remains. Botany is the area of biology concerned with the scientific study of all forms of plant life. EDITORIAL: Academic Press (Elsevier).

Typical paleobiological research attempts to answer biological questions using geological objects such as fossils found in the field. Plant diversity in tropical forests increased during ancient global warming event · Will global warming be hell on the hellbender? Paleobotany includes the study of terrestrial plant fossils biology with the methods and findings of paleontology. Palaeobotany is a diverse field in its own right, with a rich history and many gripping stories of how life evolved on earth, and among many other things it gives us crucial insight into the climate patterns of the past and their development. Paleobotany is the branch of paleontology dealing with the recovery and identification of plant remains from geological contexts, and their place in the reconstruction of past environments and the history of life.
