Biodiversity and palaeoclimatic implications of fossil wood from the non-marine Jurassic of China

Since the 1980s, an increasing number of works regarding the Jurassic wood floras have been published in China. Du (1982) described two wood fossils from the Late Jurassic in Jiayin, Heilongjiang Province, including Xenoxylon latiporosum (Cramer) Gothan and Protopiceoxylon amurense Du. When studying Late Mesozoic plants from eastern Heilongjiang, Zheng and Zhang (1982) reported two taxa of Jurassic wood, including Protocupressinoxylon mishanense and Xenoxylon peidense. Duan (1986) documented the wood species Xenoxylon latiporosum from Jurassic deposits
