Isotope study shows #vascularplants had colonized land extensively by the early Silurian @ScienceAdvances https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ade9510 https://phys.org/news/2023-04-isotope-vascular-colonized-extensively-early.html

We celebrate Caturday and Mondog, why not TracheophyteTuesday?

Tracheophytes are vascular plants. Most plants are tracheophytes, including ferns, gymnosperms and flowering plants.

I'm fortunate to live with these lovely tracheophytes.

Paper: Hydraulic failure as a primary driver of #xylem network evolution in early #VascularPlants https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.add2910

The first vascular #plants were just centimeters tall and constrained to live where water was readily available. To grow taller and begin exploring the landscape, they first had to find alternatives to their ancestral vascular arrangement.
