Geological history plants dominated the net accumulation of coal by Yanqiang SHI, Yakun SHI

“…With the advance and retreat of sea / lake water, peat bogs can expand across different basement environments, and even extend to the whole coal accumulation basin, improve environmental hydrology, raise groundwater level, and further change the regional climate. Dynamic peat bogs are superimposed in situ in multiple layers, forming thick coal layers in favorable sections; In the net environment constructed by vegetation, some plants and peat migrate to the sea / Lake in different places and accumulate ultra thick coal seams in the marsh lake. …”
