DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8114
Abstract: Abstract The Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) mass extinction 66 million years ago was characterized by a worldwide ecological catastrophe and rapid species turnover. Large‐scale devastation of forested environments resulting from the Chicxulub asteroid impact likely influenced the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12583-018-0793-5
Abstract: The end-Triassic (also Triassic-Jurassic) mass extinction severely affected life on planet Earth 200 million years ago. Paleoclimate change triggered by the volcanic eruptions of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) caused a great loss of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemgeo.2019.119434
Abstract: Abstract The most severe mass extinction in the Phanerozoic in the latest Permian Period (251.9 Ma), has been attributed to environmental effects related to the massive coeval Siberian flood-basalt eruptions. A potential causal link between the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2020.103282
Abstract: Abstract The end-Triassic mass extinction was one of the big five crises of the fossil record. It affected diverse marine groups, including bivalves, brachiopods, ostracods, calcareous algae, radiolarians, and tetrapods and coincided with major changes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2019.02.026
Abstract: Abstract The end-Permian mass extinction (EPME) at ∼252 Ma was the most severe extinction in the Phanerozoic. Marine ecosystems devastated by the EPME had a highly prolonged recovery, and did not substantially recover until after… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2019.04.036
Abstract: Abstract The aftermath of end-Permian mass extinction was marked by a ∼5 million year interval of poorly-understood, extreme environments that likely hindered biotic recovery. Contemporary nitrogen isotope variations are considered, using a new conceptual model,… read more here.
