Ozone Layer Collapse Contributed to End-Permian Mass Extinction

Research has uncovered that pollen preserved in 250 million year old rocks contain compounds that function like sunscreen, these are produced by plants to protect them from harmful ultraviolet radiation (UV_B). The findings suggests that UV-B played a part in the end Permian mass extinction event

The Late Permian Mass Extinction Explained

Research suggests that loss of silica secreting organisms in the oceans during the end-Permian mass extinction may have played a prominent role in temperatures not recovering for over 5 million years.

Study reveals that interactions between short-term cooling caused by sulfate aerosols and long-term global warming may have contributed to the end-Permian extinction on land.
