Plant Remains

Plant remains refer to the preserved parts of plants that can be found in various environments, including soil, sediment, or archaeological sites. These can include leaves, stems, roots, seeds, and pollen. Studying plant remains helps scientists understand past ecosystems, climate conditions, and human interactions with the environment. They provide insight into what plants existed at a certain time and how they may have influenced or adapted to their surroundings. This information is valuable for fields like paleontology, archaeology, and ecology, as it contributes to our understanding of biodiversity and environmental changes over time.
