• Early life on land and the first terrestrial ecosystems (2013, background): “This timeline suggests a rapid and global development of life on Earth, with life forms adapted to live on the land more than 2,000 Ma before the earliest fossil record of land plants (Heckman et al. 2001; Gensel 2008).”
• The Multiple Origins of Complex Multicellularity (2011, background): “Trilete spores (Figure 6) are a synapomorphy of the Embryophyta, so their occurrence in rocks as old as Late Ordovician (450 Ma; Gensel 2008) sets a minimum date for the divergence of embryophytes from charophyte algae.”
• Agroecology: the key role of arbuscular mycorrhizas in ecosystem services (2010, background): “At this time, land plants were at a very early evolutionary stage (Gensel 2008) and had most likely reached the morphological complexity of todays liverworts and hornworts.”
