Paleoenvironment – Plant Remains, Byproducts, and Biogeochemistry of Oranovo-Simitli Basin

Description

The book “Paleoenvironment – Plant Remains, Byproducts, and Biogeochemistry of Oranovo-Simitli Basin” is an English translation of Anton Sotirov’s scientific work, which is a detailed multidisciplinary study of one of the sedimentary basins located in the very geographical centre of the Balkan Peninsula, one of the many along the Struma River. The text is highly specialized, but provides a lot of information in the field of Earth and plant sciences. The research was carried out from 1996 to 2000 and covered the geology of the studied area, organic petrology and petrography, mineralogy, bio- and geochemistry, ecology of plant remains in the form of coal or organic matter in sedimentary rocks, paleo-ecology and geographical environment, etc.
