Study links increased carbon fixation to end-Triassic extinction
Original: -fixation increases at the end-Triassic extinction
A Nature-published finding reports that carbon-fixation increased around the end-Triassic extinction, the roughly 201-million-year-old event that wiped out much of life on Earth. Researchers are examining what elevated fixation rates reveal about ocean and atmospheric conditions during the mass extinction, and how ecosystems recovered afterwards.
Why now: A new scientific paper on the mechanisms behind a major mass extinction is drawing attention from researchers and science readers.
