Sustained increases in atmospheric oxygen and marine productivity in the Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic eras
A geologically rapid Neoproterozoic oxygenation event is commonly linked to the
appearance of marine animal groups in the fossil record. However, there is still debate about …

Sea level controls on Ediacaran-Cambrian animal radiations
The drivers of Ediacaran-Cambrian metazoan radiations remain unclear, as does the fidelity
of the record. We use a global age framework [580–510 million years (Ma) ago] to estimate …

Upwelling-driven high organic production in the late Ediacaran
Abstract The Ediacaran ocean (635-541 million years ago) is typically viewed as a stagnant,
redox-stratified ocean with low phosphorus availability. However, this contradicts the high …

Insights from a dynamical system approach into the history of atmospheric oxygenation
Atmospheric oxygen levels are traditionally viewed to have been relatively stable throughout
Earth's history with several-step increases. Emerging evidence, however, suggests …

Lithium isotopic constraints on the evolution of continental clay mineral factory and marine oxygenation in the earliest Paleozoic Era
The evolution of oxygen cycles on Earth's surface has been regulated by the balance
between molecular oxygen production and consumption. The Neoproterozoic–Paleozoic …
