Research from the University of Leeds has shed light on the survival mechanisms of lycophytes, a group of primitive plants, during one of Earth's most severe warming events.
The study indicates that these plants evolved a new type of photosynthesis, which may have been crucial for their survival amid drastic environmental changes.
This finding enhances our understanding of plant evolution and resilience in the face of catastrophic extinction events.
