paleoecosystem
A paleoecosystem is the study of ancient environments and the organisms that inhabited them. It involves reconstructing past ecosystems using fossil evidence, geological data, and other scientific clues. Paleontologists and paleoecologists analyze fossil assemblages, sediment layers, and geochemical signatures to understand the biodiversity, climate, and interactions between species that existed millions or even billions of years ago.
The primary goal of paleoecosystem research is to understand the history of life on Earth and the
Key evidence for paleoecosystems comes from fossils, which include the preserved remains of plants, animals, and
Studying paleoecosystems helps us understand long-term ecological trends, the impact of environmental change on biodiversity, and
