| Abstract | The Devonian Period (419 to 359 million years ago) witnessed some of the most important transformations leading to the habitable planet that we have today. Plants and vertebrate animals first colonized the land surface, oxygen levels rose in the oceans and atmosphere, and the planet cooled significantly.
