Abstract excerpt

Tectonic processes drive megacycles of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO(2)) concentration, c(a), that force large fluctuations in global climate. With a period of several hundred million years, these megacycles have been linked to the evolution of vascular plants, but adaptation at the subcellular scale has been difficult to determine because fossils typically do not preserve this information. Here we show, after...
