| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | | Vast forests, swampy lowlands, and tangled undergrowth dominate. Open plains are rare. | | High Humidity | Global temperatures are warmer; ice caps are minimal or absent. Rainforest conditions extend to mid-latitudes. | | Floral Evolution | Plants have evolved new defenses, growth forms, and symbioses. Some “trees” are actually giant fungi or gymnosperms. | | Vertical Stratification | Animals are highly specialized for living at specific heights (ground, understory, canopy, emergent layer). | | Reduced Megafauna | In After Man , the largest animals are browsers (e.g., Gigantelope) but not dinosaur-sized. In The New Dinosaurs , sauropod-like forms persist. | green world dougal dixon
