Database-based Eco-Plant analysis for Mesozoic dispersed sporomorphs.

ABSTRACT: Patterns of community assemblage for plants are associated with particular climatic elements such as water, heat, light, and air. The classification based on these plant assemblages is referred to here as the ecogroup of plants (Eco-Plant), whereas the method of analysing palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimate variation by using Eco-Plant is called the Eco-Plant model. The online database Sporopollen was created to quickly assign eco-climatic traits to quantitative fossil sporomorph data to assess implications for past vegetation patterns and climatic changes. A user-friendly interface has been created, where users can upload their data to the database and in return get immediate results. This database can automatically link all Mesozoic and Cenozoic sporomorphs to their putative par
