A new study reveals that a region in China's Turpan-Hami Basin served as a refugium, or "life oasis," for terrestrial plants ...

An international team of researchers used climate models and plant fossils to link the Great Dying with an 18-degree Fahrenheit rise (10 degrees Celsius) in average global temperatures.

Mega El Niños could have intensified the world’s most devastating mass extinction, which ended the Permian Period 252 million years ago, a new study found.

“Recovery in marine life after the end-Permian extinction has been extensively studied, but the timeline of ecosystem recovery in life on land is much less understood,” says lead author Dr Li ...

Because the plant oasis persisted, it presented a welcome place for animals to thrive after the event ended. The team found some animal fossils dating to about 75,000 years after the extinction. The ...
