Fire-adapted Gondwanan Angiosperm floras evolved in the Cretaceous

Background: Fires have been widespread over the last 250 million years, peaking 60-125 million years ago (Ma), and might therefore have played a key role in the evolution of Angiosperms. Yet it is commonly believed that fireprone communities existed only after the global climate became more arid and...
