Global climates were much warmer in the Mesozoic Era. Carbon dioxide was likely many times higher than today contributing to a "greenhouse" planet causing changes in the types of vegetation.

One example would be the flood basalts of the Deccan Traps of India, but there are many many more, as the Mesozoic era is a huge time period.
Yes, conifers were common during the Mesozoic Era, which lasted from about 252 to 66 million years ago. They were one of the dominant plant groups alongside cycads and ferns during this time, especially during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Conifers played a crucial role in shaping the diverse ecosystems of the Mesozoic Era.
Virgin Vegetation- Virgin Vegetation means the original, undisturbed native plant life that grows in any area. A "virgin" forest would be one that has never been cut by man, or replanted with another type of tree. Natural Vegetation- Natural vegetation refers to the garment of plants and trees that exists in the area before it is modified by Man for activities such as farming, mining, lumbering and industrial, economic and urban development.
Since the Mesozoic era, a lot of flowering plants have been dominated by trees and food bearing plants.
Since the time of the dinosaurs, one significant change in vegetation is the rise of flowering plants, or angiosperms. During the Mesozoic era, the dominant plant groups were cycads, ferns, and conifers, but by the Cretaceous period, flowering plants began to diversify and eventually became the dominant form of vegetation on Earth. This shift significantly altered ecosystems and influenced the evolution of herbivorous and pollinating animals. The emergence of flowering plants also led to more complex plant-animal interactions, shaping modern biodiversity.
Tornadoes change habitats by destroying vegetation and manmade structures.

yes the only time during the mesozoic in which they didn't exist was the earliest triassic, when they had not yet evolved. some people think that birds are dinosaurs, in which case dinosaurs would also be in the Cenozoic (the period immediately after the mesozoic, which is the one that occurs today).
The vegetation in Brazil is the Tropical Rainforest.
Funny you asked. The reptiles dominated from the permian to cretaceous period. The answer is the mesozoic era. There are three geological eras: paleozoic, mesozoic and the Cenozoic. We are currently in the Holocene epoch of the quaternary period of the Cenozoic era.
One reason is human activity, such as deforestation for agriculture and urban development. Another reason is natural disturbances like wildfires, which can eliminate large areas of vegetation. Additionally, climate change and invasive species can also contribute to the loss of primary vegetation in the US.

it has a wide variety of vegetation, one of which the welwitschia mirabilis is include.
