Researchers believe the forests helped paved the way for a large scale decrease in carbon levels hundreds of millions of years ago.
Dr. Chris Berry, from Cardiff University, explained:
"During the Devonian Period, it is widely believed that there was a huge drop in the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, from 15 times the pr
