Plant communities of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> geologic past can be<br />
rec<strong>on</strong>structed with high fidelity <strong>on</strong>ly if <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y were<br />
preserved in place in an instant in time, which are<br />
extremely rare but are essential <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> gain insights in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
paleoecology, paleobiogeography <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> paleoclimate. An<br />
earliest Permian volcanic air‐fall tuff from Inner M<strong>on</strong>golia,<br />
China, preserved an in situ forest that grew <strong>on</strong> an<br />
extensive peat deposit that exists <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>day as a mineable coal<br />
seam. Our research has realized <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> first rec<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong><br />
of an actual site of a peat‐forming swamp forest of<br />
Permian age which represents also <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> first such<br />
rec<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> late Paleozoic of East Asia. The<br />
flora was dominated by Marattialean tree ferns, tree<br />
lycopsids <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> Noeggerathiales, a generally rare group of<br />
extinct spore‐bearing plants of uncertain systematic<br />
positi<strong>on</strong>. This compositi<strong>on</strong> is both similar <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> distinctly<br />
different from that recognized in floras of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> same time<br />
interval in Europe or North America. Plant remains<br />
were quantitatively recorded in three plots of <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ge<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r<br />
more than 1000 m 2 . The plots show forest<br />
heterogeneity including <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> first site ever recorded that<br />
was dominated by Noeggerathiales.<br />

legislative framework for access <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> benefit sharing<br />
activities. We c<strong>on</strong>ducted a participa<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry farmer survey<br />
of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s of Prior Informed C<strong>on</strong>sent (PIC) <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

when Xiangxi black pig resources in local communities<br />
are developed <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> utilized, PIC are communicated orally.<br />
91.2% of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> households were not informed in writing.<br />
