Simulating the climate response to atmospheric oxygen variability in the Phanerozoic: a focus on the Holocene, Cretaceous and Permian
The amount of dioxygen (O 2) in the atmosphere may have varied from as little as 5% to as
much as 35% during the Phanerozoic eon (54 Ma–present). These changes in the amount …

Hydration status and diurnal trophic interactions shape microbial community function in desert biocrusts
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are self-organised thin assemblies of microbes, lichens, and
mosses that are ubiquitous in arid regions and serve as important ecological and …

Did early land plants produce a stepwise change in atmospheric oxygen during the Late Ordovician (Sandbian~ 458 Ma)?
A stepwise change in atmospheric oxygen (O 2) levels during the Ordovician has been
attributed to the emergence of land plants. This phenomenon is tied to a major baseline shift …
