Refuge from the worst mass extinction in Earth's history discovered fossilized in China
The End-Permian mass extinction killed an estimated 80% of life on Earth, but new research suggests that plants might have done okay.
Terrestrial 'life oasis' from end-Permian mass extinction period discovered in China
A new study reveals that a region in China's Turpan-Hami Basin served as a refugium, or "life oasis," for terrestrial plants during the end-Permian mass extinction, the most severe biological crisis since the Cambrian period.
Climate chaos: The mass extinction that reshaped life on Earth
Research shows how Earth's climate suddenly warmed 10°C, transforming ecosystems and causing the worst mass extinction in history.
Study finds "oasis of life" thrived in NW China during Earth's worst mass extinction
This image shows the reconstruction of the terrestrial landscape before (B), during (A), and after (C) the mass extinction at the end of the Permian Period in
'Life oasis' in China: Fossil site reveals plants survived Earth's deadliest extinction 252 million years ago
A groundbreaking discovery in China's Turpan-Hami Basin suggests that some terrestrial ecosystems remained largely unaffected by the catastrophic end-Permian mass extinction, offering fresh insight into the resilience of life in Earth's darkest period.
Scientists discover a ‘life oasis’ that survived Earth’s deadliest mass extinction
The end-Permian mass extinction, which struck around 252 million years ago, was the most devastating biological crisis in Earth's history. Over 80% of marine species disappeared, leaving the oceans nearly lifeless.
A Life Oasis Protected Plants During the Permian Mass Extinction Event
Even during one of Earth's largest mass extinction events, where heat waves kill of a majority of Earth's species, at least one oasis of survival existed. The findings suggest that there may have been pockets of protection throughout Earth - challenging the notion that the heat affected life on the planet uniformly,
Chinese fossil site suggests land plants survived Earth’s worst mass extinction
A recently uncovered fossil location in China’s Turpan-Hami Basin suggests that some terrestrial ecosystems were only marginally affected by the most cataclysmic extinction event in Earth’s history, the end-Permian mass extinction.
Permian mass extinction linked to 10°C global temperature rise that reshaped Earth's ecosystems
The mass extinction that ended the Permian geological epoch, 252 million years ago, wiped out most animals living on Earth.
The remote locale that shielded plants during Earth’s biggest mass extinction
About 252 million years ago, 80 to 90 percent of life on Earth was wiped out. In the Turpan-Hami Basin, life persisted and ...
