Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Ordination placed genera from similar climates and sites from similar paleogeographic regions close together.
- Observation Jurassic vegetation showed taxonomic stability compared with other periods.
- Method / resource Genera near the regression line reliably reflected climatic gradients.
- Association Cool wet temperate climates corresponded to ginkgophyte dominated deciduous floras.
- Association Warm drier subtropical climates corresponded to cycad dominated floras.
- Method / resource Jurassic floras were only relatively uniform globally, with shallow gradients resolved by ordination.
