Leaf traits of long-ranging Paleogene species and their relationship with depositional facies, climate and atmospheric CO2 level
Original language description
Leaves are the most appropriate plant organs for studying adaptations to environmental changes as they are the locations of photosynthetic metabolism and thus directly exposed to habitat conditions. Besides investigations on complete assemblages, individual long-ranging species could directly mirror adaptations and changes of leaf traits on environmental, climate and atmospheric CO2 level evolution over a considerable time span. Central European leaf assemblages from the middle and late Paleogene reveal plenty of properly preserved fossils that are quite suitable and promising for investigating functional leaf traits of woody dicots. Herein, morphological, morphometric and micromorphological (cuticular) functional leaf traits, both quantitative and qualitative parameters, of Rhodomyrtophyllum reticulosum (Myrtaceae) and Platanus neptuni (Platanaceae) are analysed. The aim is to evaluate whether leaf traits of both taxa reflect environmental conditions including climate and if leaf traits track local, regional and / or global trends of palaeoclimate and palaeo-atmospheric CO2 evolution. Both species cover a time span from the early-middle ocene boundary to the earliest Miocene, appr. 26 Ma, with an overlap in their occurrences in the late Eocene. Altogether material of 23 sites from 3 distinct depositional palaeoenvironments, i.e. marine, coastal lowland/alluvial plain and volcanic settings, is considered. Basic information on regional palaeoclimate parameters were calculated from the fossil plant assemblages using the Coexistence Approach and the Climate Leaf Analysis Multivariate Program (CLAMP).
