Textbook Question
Chapter 25, Problem 1S
Vascular plants sequestered large amounts of CO2 through photosynthesis when the first expanded across terrestrial environment, leading to a glaciation. Evaluate the claim that a similar glaciation event occurred when the first plants colonized land. Be sure to consider whether or not photosynthesis by these new species alone could cause a glaciation.
