A new study reveals that Earth's biomes changed dramatically in the wake of mass volcanic eruptions 252 million years ago.

Research shows how Earth's climate suddenly warmed 10°C, transforming ecosystems and causing the worst mass extinction in history.

Researchers led by Dr. Maura Brunetti at the University of Geneva studied fossilized plant remains, using spores, pollen, and ...

If this increase continues at the same rate, we will reach the level of emissions that caused the Permian-Triassic mass extinction in around 2,700 years—a much faster timescale than the Permian ...

In the study, "The ecology and geography of temnospondyl recovery after the Permian—Triassic mass extinction" published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, their findings suggest the amphibians ...

An ancient mass extinction event left a long-hidden refuge, whose survivors repopulated the Earth much faster than previously ...

If this increase continues at the same rate, we will reach the level of emissions that caused the Permian-Triassic mass extinction in around 2,700 years — a much faster timescale than the ...

About 252 million years ago, 80 to 90 percent of life on Earth was wiped out. In the Turpan-Hami Basin, life persisted and ...

Fossils in China suggest some plants survived the End-Permian extinction, indicating land ecosystems fared differently from ...
