EVERYPlant Carboniferous Biome MEGAPack --592 Models-- 3D Model Collection

Name: Carboniferous Biome MEGAPack

A combination of Biome Packs 1,2,3 and 4. Substantially discounted over both the cost of the individual plants and the individual Biome Packs. This extend pack allows the population of a scene without obvious duplication of instances.

This is a High Poly pack. A Low Poly version is also available.

Biome packs are a collection of all the plants you need to satisfy a particular type of scene, containing both common and some rarer plants. Each plant species has several variations to allow for a diversity of scenes. Variation may include health, maturity, season (if appropriate), LOD and various other modifications.

Notes: The Carboniferous is a period spanning 360 to 290 million years ago. The period is characterised by swampy, humid floodplains, and vast forests covering the land. These would eventually become the coal beds of today.

The main Early Carboniferous plants were the Equisetales (horse-tails), Sphenophyllales (scrambling plants), Lycopodiales (club mosses), Lepidodendrales (scale trees), Filicales (ferns), Medullosales (seed ferns) and the Cordaitales. These continued to dominate throughout the period, but during late Carboniferous, several other groups, Cycadophyta (cycads), the Callistophytales (another group of seed ferns), and the Voltziales (related to and sometimes included under the conifers), appeared.

The Carboniferous lycophytes (giant relatives of club-mosses) were huge trees with trunks 30 metres high and up to 1.5 metres in diameter; these included Lepidodendron and Sigillaria. The Equisetales included the common giant form Calamites, with a height of up to 20m. Sphenophyllum was a slender climbing plant with whorls of leaves, which was probably related both to the calamites and the lycopods. Cordaites, a tall plant (30 meters) with strap-like leaves, was related to the cycads and conifers. These plants were thought to live in swamps. True coniferous trees (Walchia) appear later in the Carboniferous, and preferred higher drier ground.
