Abstract
The Hamjin flora was discovered from the Miocene Hamjin Formation of Hamjin-ri, Myonggan County, North Hamgyong Province. Taxodiaceae, Fagaceae, Betulaceae and Aceraceae are dominated and there are also plant fossils that are extinct in our country, such as dozens of extant species, and Liriodendron, Cercidiphyllum, Saysfras, Nyssa and so on. The Hamjin flora show that the climate at that time was warm and temperate. The plant fossils found in Hamjin area are of great importance for studying the evolution of flora and climate change from the Middle Miocene to the present.
期刊介绍:
The Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology is an international journal for articles in all fields of palaeobotany and palynology dealing with all groups, ranging from marine palynomorphs to higher land plants. Original contributions and comprehensive review papers should appeal to an international audience. Typical topics include but are not restricted to systematics, evolution, palaeobiology, palaeoecology, biostratigraphy, biochronology, palaeoclimatology, paleogeography, taphonomy, palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, vegetation history, and practical applications of palaeobotany and palynology, e.g. in coal and petroleum geology and archaeology. The journal especially encourages the publication of articles in which palaeobotany and palynology are applied for solving fundamental geological and biological problems as well as innovative and interdisciplinary approaches.
