英文摘要	Terrestrial deposits of the Triassic-Jurassic transition are well developed in the Junggar Basin, located in the Haojiagou Valley of Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of Northwest China. This paper describes the palynology of a 10 m thick lignite bed from the Upper Triassic Haojiagou Formation (Rhaetian) with the aim of reconstructing the palaeovegetation and palaeoenvironment of a peat-forming wetland near the Triassic-Jurassic boundary. The palynoflora contains both Eurasian and Gondwanan elements, and is dominated by the spores and pollen of Bennettitales, Corystospermales, Ginkgoales, and Gleicheniales. At the Triassic/Jurassic boundary (Hettangian), the palynoflora significantly changes as Cyatheales spores become the dominant elements. We analyze assemblages in terms of an Eco-Plant model, which assigns the parent plants of the palynomorphs into five groups based on humidity and four groups based on temperature, and uses multivariate statistical analyses to infer palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironmental conditions. Results suggest that the palaeoclimate of the Rhaetian was generally wet and subtropical with short seasonal drought periods. Our analysis shows that an Eco-Plant model may be a useful tool to reveal past vegetation patterns and climate changes, applicable to other Mesozoic assemblages. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
