On the blue planet, before the winged reptiles moved into the sky and the ternosaurs flew over the continents for a long time, small green organisms lived in the ancient oceans. The fossil and evolutionary evidence indicates that chlorophyll, the green pigment responsible for the coloring of these organisms, existed for about 85 percent of Earth's long history - roughly 3.8 billion years ago.
In how Earth turns green, Joseph Armstrong traces the history of these green organisms, described by many plants, from their ancient beginnings to the diversity of the green life that inhabits the earth today. Using an evolutionary framework that addresses how the green Earth turned questions like: Should all green organisms be considered plants? Why do these organisms look like they do? How do they relate to each other and other chlorophyll-free organisms? How do they multiply? How has it changed and diversified over time? How non-existence of green organisms Earth's ecosystems? More interesting than the traditional textbook and a spectacular breadth of breadth, it will turn to how the green earth turned into the joy and enlightenment of embryonic botanists and any student interested in the evolutionary history of plants..
