Research explores fossil records and geochemical proxies in tropical ecosystems, revealing climate's influence on ecosystems over time.
Reconstructing tropical forest collapse in Earth’s deep past This study is part of the SIM-EARTH project, a research initiative that integrates fossil records, plant evolutionary data, geochemical proxies and advanced Earth system models to investigate the long-term co-evolution of life and climate. By combining fieldwork, fossil analysis and high-performance simulations, SIM-EARTH aims to uncover how terrestrial ecosystems have shaped—and been shaped by—global environmental change, from the deep past to the present and into the future.
