Abstract
There is mounting evidence that much of the world’s vegetation has been fire-prone since the Upper Cretaceous, taking precedence over Cenozoic drought as a key agent of selection in the evolution of specialized traits adaptive to environmental stresses that otherwise result in species extinction. This raises the question of when the advent of surface fires occurred compared with the introduction of other critical selective agents, such as frost,...
