Theory and classification of mass extinction causation
Theory regarding the causation of mass extinctions is in need of systematization, which is
the focus of this contribution. Every mass extinction has both an ultimate cause, ie the trigger …

Impacts of low oxygen on marine life: neglected, but a crucial priority for research
Global ocean O2 content has varied significantly across the eons, both shaping and being
shaped by the evolutionary history of life on planet Earth. Indeed, past O2 fluctuations have …

Enhanced Continental Weathering as a Trigger for the End‐Devonian Hangenberg Crisis
Abstract The Hangenberg Crisis coincided with a large decline of biodiversity and
widespread anoxia in the end‐Devonian ocean. Previous research attributed marine anoxia …

The Devonian landscape factory: plant–sediment interactions in the Old Red Sandstone of Svalbard and the rise of vegetation as a biogeomorphic agent
Abstract The Devonian Period was a crucial interval in the evolution of plants. During its 60
myr duration, it witnessed the successive evolution of roots, wood, trees and forests. In …

The colonization of drylands by early vascular plants: Evidence from Early Devonian fossil soils and in situ plant traces from South China
The mid-Paleozoic colonization of land by plants induced profound changes in the Earth's
surface environments. However, it remains poorly understood how the earliest vascular …

The role of vegetation and large wood on the topographic characteristics of braided river systems
Riparian vegetation and large wood play a crucial role in shaping rivers. On the one hand,
vegetation tends to increase bank stability, reduce channel width and reduce the braiding …
