- Abstract
Dating the subsidence history of the North Atlantic Land Bridge (NALB) is crucial for understanding intercontinental disjunetions of northern temperat trees. Traditionally, the NALB has been assumed to have functioned as a corridor for plant migration only during the early Cenozoic, but recent findings of plant fossils and inferences from molecular studies are challenging this view. Here , we report dispersed pollen of Quercus from ....
