Stegosaurus fossils come from the Morrison Formation in the western USA and date to between 155 and 150 million years ago. Some have recently been found in Portugal from the same time period. At that time, the area was a semi-arid subtropical plain with distinct wet and dry seasons. Near rivers, there were forests of conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, ferns, and horsetails. Further from the rivers there were open areas covered in ferns with scattered trees.
Dilophosaurus lived at a time when North America's climate was mostly arid to semi-arid, similar to Africa and Australia today. The dominant flora of the time consisted of conifers, ferns, ginkgoes, cycads, and tree-ferns with no flowering plants like grass.
during the devonian period early amphibians developed also ferns, seed plants, and bearing plants appear on land
Allosaurus fossils have been found in the Morrison Formation of the western USA, the Tendaguru Formation of Tanzania, and the Lourinhã Formation of Portugal and date to between 155 and 150 million years ago. The two former areas, if not all three, were semi-arid, subtropical to tropical plains with distinct wet and dry seasons. Along rivers, there would have been forests of conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, ferns, and horsetails. Farther from the rivers there were open expanses, but rather than being covered in grass, which didn't exist yet, they were covered in ferns, and there were scattered trees. Allosaurus probably preferred the more open areas for hunting.
During the Jurassic period, the land was dominated by lush forests and ferns, with dinosaurs such as the Brachiosaurus roaming the landscape. In the Ice Age, much of the land was covered in glaciers and ice sheets, shaping the terrain through processes like erosion and deposition. Today, the land has been shaped by both natural forces and human activity, with diverse landscapes ranging from mountains and deserts to forests and urban areas.
Ferns
they live both on land????
The first fossil records of vascular plants that is land plants with vascular tissues Fossil ferns and seed ferns include Pecopteris Cyclopteris
Aforest is located where there are lots of trees and land.
Because algae are aquatic plants while ferns are not.
Approximately 31% of the Earth's total land area is covered by forests.
Kelp forests are underwater ecosystems dominated by large, brown algae known as kelp, while forests on land are ecosystems dominated by trees, shrubs, and other terrestrial plant species. Kelp forests support a diverse range of marine life, while land forests provide habitat for terrestrial animals and plants. Kelp forests require sunlight for photosynthesis, whereas land forests have access to air for respiration.
