«I thank my admired Pepe Carrión for the invitation to participate as a reviewer in the dissemination and, therefore, also in the transfer of such an important work. We are facing an open, comprehensive, detailed publication with a utility that goes beyond paleobotany, even botany. I think it is a work easily accessible for any naturalist interested in global data on the evolution of vegetation. The editing work is magnificent. I encourage the coordinator, editors, and authors to continue with what promises to be a work of great utility and visibility.”«
