About This Episode
"Discover the incredible survival story of plants after the K-Pg extinction event. While the asteroid impact and ensuing winter wiped out the dinosaurs, many plants survived through clever adaptations like seed dormancy and underground roots. Learn how the Earth transformed from a barren wasteland into a green planet again, led by the rapid recovery of ferns and flowering plants."

Chapters:
1. The Cretaceous Greenhouse World: We establish the vibrant, sun-drenched floral kingdom of the Late Cretaceous, a paradise ruled by dinosaurs and giant flowering trees.
2. The Great Darkness: The asteroid strikes, triggering a global cataclysm where the real extinction mechanism for plants was an "impact winter" that shut down photosynthesis.
3. The Underground Ark: We investigate the central mystery of survival, revealing the "survival toolkit" of dormancy hidden within the soil as a vast "seed bank."
4. Inheriting the Ash: As the darkness lifts, we witness the "Fern Spike" phenomenon and explore how these resilient survivors ultimately reset all of Earth's ecosystems.
