A research team led by Chinese scientists has pinpointed the timing of a mass extinction of land life that occurred more than 200 million years ago, according to Nanjing University.
The team’s study reveals that different ecosystems respond at different rates to environmental degradation, helping to more accurately piece together the process of mass extinction.
This groundbreaking research provides new insights into the dynamics of ancient mass extinctions, which can enhance our understanding of how current ecosystems might respond to ongoing environmental changes.
