General research
- A study on the evolutionary history of green plants is published by Nie et al. (2020).

- An early land plant producing multiple spore size classes is described from the Lower Devonian Campbellton Formation (Canada) by Bonacorsi et al. (2020).
- A study on the impact of the appearance and evolution of herbivorous tetrapods on the evolution of land plants from the Carboniferous to the Early Triassic is published by Brocklehurst, Kammerer & Benson (2020).
- A study on the production of periderm in Late Paleozoic arborescent lycopsids is published by D'Antonio & Boyce (2020), who argue that these lycopsids did not grow from sporelings into large trees through the production of a periderm cylinder, because physiological limitations would have prohibited the production of thick periderm.
- A study on the architecture and development of the Carboniferous arborescent lycopsid Paralycopodites is published by DiMichele & Bateman (2020).

- Evidence of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration at the onset of the end-Triassic extinction event, based on data from fossil leaves of the seed fern Lepidopteris ottonis from southern Sweden, is presented by Slodownik, Vajda & Steinthorsdottir (2020), who confirm L. ottonis as a valid proxy for pCO2 reconstructions.
- A study on the anatomy of the seed cone scales of Krassilovia mongolica is published by Herrera et al. (2020), who argue that K. mongolica and Podozamites harrisii are the seed cones and leaves of the same extinct plant, and name a new family Krassiloviaceae within the order Voltziales.
- A study on the microscopic wood anatomy of a fossil tree trunk of Agathoxylon arizonicum with the characteristic external features of a fire scar from the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation (Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, United States) is published by Byers et al.

- A putative bamboo "Chusquea" oxyphylla from the early Eocene Laguna del Hunco biota (Argentina) is reinterpreted as a conifer by Wilf (2020), who transfers this species to the genus Retrophyllum.

- Fossils fruits of Illigera eocenica, representing the second fossil occurrence of Illigera worldwide and the first in Asia, are described from the Eocene Niubao Formation (central Tibetan Plateau) by Wang et al. (2020), who evaluate the implications of this finding for the knowledge of the climate in the central Tibetan Plateau during the early middle Eocene, and for the knowledge of the floristic links between Asia and North America during the Paleogene.

- Evidence from Eocene plant fossils from the Bangong-Nujiang suture indicating that the Tibetan Plateau area hosted a diverse subtropical ecosystem approximately 47 million years ago and that this area was both low and humid at the time is presented by Su et al. (2020), who also report that the composition of this flora is similar to Early-Middle Eocene floras in both North America and Europe, but shows little affinity to Eocene floras from the Indian Plate.
- A study aiming to estimate leaf dry mass per area in fossil plants from 22 western North American sites spanning the Eocene–Oligocene transition is published online by Butrim & Royer (2020), who evaluate the implications of their findings for the knowledge of the impact of the environmental changes occurring during the Eocene–Oligocene transition on leaf-economic strategies of plants.
