Mesozoic Terrestrial Ecosystems and Biota

Soft Tissue Preservation in Terrestrial Mesozoic Vertebrates

Exceptionally preserved fossils—i.e., those that retain, in somemanner, labile components of organisms that are normally degraded far too quickly to enter the fossil record—hold the greatest potential for understanding aspects of the biology of long-extinct animals and are the best targets for the search for endogenous biomolecules. Yet the modes of preservation of these labile components, and ...

Interactions among Soil Biota in Coniferous Ecosystems

Fogel, R., 1988. Interactions among soil biota in coniferous ecosystems. Agric. Ecosystems Environ., 24: 69-85. The dominance of ectomycorrhizae in most coniferous forest ecosystems profoundly alters the classical concept of the role of exudation and rhizodeposition of cell fragments in the formation of the rhizosphere. In the unaltered, non-ectomycorrhizal rhizosphere the soluble exudates and ...
