; cryptic disturbance habitats dominated by polycarpic lycopsids (Diaphorodendron vasculare and Sigillaria spp.) , with a diversity of growth architectures, including abundant ground cover; Lyginopteris assemblages for which the physical attributes are unclear, but which overlap to some extent with Diaphorodendron vascularedominated assemblages and may have been part of the broader cryptic disturbance set of environments.

Various combination of habitats thus appear throughout the interval (Figure 8.8~. Late Westphalian D coal swamps represent a return to the basic habitat organization characteristic of the Westphalian A: flooded habitats dominated by monocarpic lycopsids, ecotonal habitats dominated by the lycopsid Paralycopodites and medullosans, and cryptic disturbance habitats dominated by polycarpic lycopsids with structurally complex vegetation.
