The end-Permian mass extinction is the greatest biotic crisis in Earth history causing the
extinction of a large number of marine and terrestrial animals globally. However, how land …

The Silurian palaeontology and stratigraphy of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau have been
studied for more than 100 years. With the launch of the Second Tibetan Plateau Scientific …

Nonmarine biostratigraphic/biochronologic schemes have been created for all or parts of the
late Carboniferous–Middle Triassic using palynomorphs, megafossil plants, conchostracans …

The Triassic is bound by two mass extinctions that coincide with vast outpourings of volcanic
flood basalts. The Mesozoic begins with a gradual recovery of plant and animal life after the …

The Permian-Triassic mass extinction severely depleted biodiversity, primarily observed in
the body fossil of well-skeletonized animals. Understanding how whole ecosystems were …

The current model for the end-Permian terrestrial ecosystem crisis holds that systematic loss
exhibited by an abrupt turnover from the Daptocephalus to the Lystrosaurus Assemblage …

This study reviews plant species richness and abundance change from the End Permian to
Middle Triassic in South China and examines the co-evolutionary relationship between the …

Mounting evidence indicates that the orbital period of the solar system's movement through
the Milky Way has had a controlling effect on processes of the Earth's system throughout the …

Abstract The closure of Mianlue Ocean lead to the collisional assembly between the North
China Block (NCB) and the South China Block (SCB). But the timing of initial continental …

The global pattern of plant evolution through the Permian–Triassic mass extinction is
uncertain, and the extent to which land plants were affected is debated. Detailed studies …
